Manchester City agree £52m deal for Monaco defender Benjamin Mendy.

Manchester City have agreed a £52m deal for Monaco defender Benjamin Mendy.

The 23-year-old France left-back, who joined Monaco from Marseille last summer, played 34 times for the club last season and helped them to their first Ligue 1 title in 17 years.

His fee would eclipse the initial £45m paid by City for right-back, Kyle Walker earlier this month and the £47.5m deal for centre-back John Stones last summer.
