Summary: Norwich - Manchester City 4: 0 (Sport 1)

When she is in great shape, tonight (Saturday) Manchester City will host Tottenham in the 26th round of the English league.

The champion will look for a fifth straight win in all competitions, while the Roosters will hope to surprise and interrupt a streak of two losses.

Before the game, Citizens coach Pep Guardiola revealed that over the summer the team had rejected from London no less than four offers for Harry Kane, with Tottenham demanding £ 150m for the striker, an amount City were unwilling to pay

. But at the time we did not know, "said Guardiola." We tried to sign Harry Kane, but Tottenham made it clear that was not going to happen.

We tried once, twice, three, four and then it was over.

"We were not sure about the squad before the start of the season, and then we lost to Tottenham and then to Leicester in the Community Shield."

On his feelings in light of the failure to sign Kane: "I'm never disappointed with what the team has failed to do in the transfer market. I have never created fires. When we fail to reach agreements, we close it within the club."

As for the desire to continue Kane, the champions have not yet given up on the possibility of the striker coming to Manchester, but if that does not happen, City are planning to promote Julian Alvarez, who was signed last January, to the first team.

The striker is currently on loan at River Plate.

Guardiola commented on efforts to sign a striker: "We always work, it never stops. If five players ask to leave, we have to be ready."

On Julian Alvarez, the coach said: "He scored a hat-trick in River's last game. We made a great deal. His goals remind me of Jimmy Vardy. We'll see what happens in the future."
