Pep Guardiola will improve Manchester City by bringing his trademark tiki-taka playing style to the Etihad Stadium, according to Barcelona youngster Denis Suarez.
The former Blaugrana boss took charge of City in the summer and is expected to take his spending in the transfer market to over £100 million in the coming days.
Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus and Marlos Moreno have been heavily linked with Guardiola's side following the acquisitions of Ilkay Gundogan, Nolito and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Suarez, speaking at St George's Park ahead of Barcelona's International Champions Cup opener against Celtic in Dublin on Saturday, said that Guardiola's footballing philosophy will help City improve on and off the pitch.
"Pep Guardiola is going to bring a different style of play to the Premier League, a more tika-taka kind of play," he said.
"Although City were already a strong team and have won the Premier League a couple of times already, he's surely going to improve them and make sure they play a different style of football.
"In Spain, Guardiola won the treble and hopefully he can do the same in England. He's got the challenge of uniting players from different cultures, which is a different challenge to what he's used to, but I'm sure he'll be able to do that.
"He's a manager I know personally from when I was in the Under-19s and Under 20s. There's a contintuation of the style of play and I think he will be a great fit for Manchester City."
