Monaco's Upgrades: Wing-Cutting In and Ben Yedder as the Central Pounce Point

Monaco's Upgrades: Wing-Cutting In and Ben Yedder as the Central Pounce Point Monaco has been making some upgrades to its squad this summer, with several key signings in defence and midfield. One player who has caught the eye is wing-back Benjamin Mendy, who has joined from Manchester City for £45m.

Mendy has been described as "the most promising young defender in world football" by Manchester United legend Gary Neville, and he certainly looks set to make an immediate impact at Monaco. He has already shown his pace and skill on the wing, and has impressed in training so far.

But it's not just Mendy who has made an impression at Monaco. The club has also brought in experienced players like Tiemoue Bakay and Moussa Sissoko, while also keeping hold of established talents such as Radamel Falcao and Benjamin Mendy himself.

The addition of these new faces will undoubtedly help Monaco compete more seriously for silverware this season, and could well be the catalyst for a real push towards the top of Ligue 1. With their star man Ben Yedder leading the line, Monaco have a formidable attacking force, and they should be one of the teams to watch out for this season.
