Jeremy Doku is capable of playing on either wing, but the right side - where Riyad Mahrez played for the bulk of last season - is likely to be his home.
Jack Grealish has the left wing spot nailed down - and Phil Foden is likely to play centrally with Kevin de Bruyne currently sidelined.
Bernardo Silva, like Foden, can play centrally or out wide - with Julian Alvarez also capable of playing on the wing, although most of his games have been in the middle.
Doku played fewer minutes than any of them last season - with 13 Ligue 1 starts and 16 appearances off the bench - because of injury problems, but still managed six goals and two assists.
He netted against Metz on the opening day of this season.
Doku is more of a textbook winger than his new colleagues, or the man he is replacing [Mahrez], with over twice as many dribbles but fewer passes.
Belgian journalist Claudo Reulens said: “His speed is incredible, he has an acceleration in the acceleration. His first dribble is his best attribute.
“In the final third he has to improve [with goals and assists] but in a great attacking team like Manchester City, I am sure he will improve on that.
“He has a playing style like [Chelsea’s former City winger] Raheem Sterling, but in my opinion Doku has more potential.”
