Manchester City have confirmed their 21-man squad for the 2022-23 Premier League season following the conclusion of the summer transfer window.

After winning their fourth top-flight title in five seasons last term, Pep Guardiola experienced a busy summer transfer window of incomings and outgoings, with the Citizens making a net profit of around £20m.

Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Fernandinho were the four high-profile names who departed the Etihad Stadium, the latter of whom leaving the club after nine years upon the expiration of his contract.

Five fresh faces have been added to City's squad over the summer with Erling Braut Haaland, Kalvin Phillips, Stefan Ortega, Sergio Gomez and Manuel Akanji all arriving on permanent deals.

Julian Alvarez, who was signed in January from River Plate, is another who has now linked up with Guardiola's first-team squad.

All six players have been included in City's 21-man Premier League squad, which also includes 14 non-homegrown players.

Under the current Premier League rules, clubs can include no more than 17 non-homegrown players within their 25-man squads.

Phillips, Scott Carson, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, John Stones and Kyle Walker are all classified as homegrown players, while defender Nathan Ake is City's only homegrown player who was not born in the UK.

City have decided against naming a full 25-man squad and will instead integrate a number of their Under-21s players from their academy who do not need to be registered.

The likes of Cole Palmer, Josh Wilson-Esbrand and Rico Lewis have all featured under Guardiola this term and have been included on the club's official Under-21s list for the new campaign.

Elsewhere, midfielder Ilkay Gundogan - who has replaced Fernandinho as the club's new captain - is included along with vice-captain Kevin De Bruyne.

First-choice goalkeeper Ederson, defenders Ruben Dias, Joao Cancelo and Aymeric Laporte, midfielders Rodri and Bernardo Silva, and winger Riyad Mahrez have also been included in the first-team squad.

Guardiola and co are now preparing for their upcoming Premier League fixture away at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, and will look to climb above Arsenal at the top of the table.

Manchester City's Premier League squad in full:

Goalkeepers: Ederson, Stefan Ortega, Scott Carson

Defenders: Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, John Stones, Nathan Ake, Joao Cancelo, Aymeric Laporte, Sergio Gomez, Manuel Akanji

Midfielders: Kalvin Phillips, Ilkay Gundogan, Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva

Attackers: Erling Braut Haaland, Jack Grealish, Julian Alvarez, Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden
