Noel Gallagher has told Manchester City fans that the players the club is targetting in the summer transfer window will “blow your mind”.

The former Oasis guitarist and life-long City fans claims to have been shown potential names during lunch with chief executive Garry Cook.

In a radio interview, he said Cook wrote the club's ideal 24-man squad on a napkin, reports Manchester Evening News.

When asked to elaborate on the players' identities, Gallagher claimed that Messi and Ronaldo were among them.

“Put it down on paper, and the 24-man squad we will have will be looking to win everything next season,” he said.

“That’s not being big-headed and saying we are going to win everything, but we have to go into it thinking ‘Who is better than us in the league?’”

As previously reported, Gallagher was a guest of honour at the World Cup final on Sunday (July 11).
