Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola revealed his club’s January transfer plans after watching his side defeat Leicester 2-0 in the Premier League yesterday.

The Spaniard explained that he needs a holding midfielder and a centre-back in the upcoming window.

"Kevin [De Bruyne] is back but we need more in the middle and the back four. We have struggled with full-backs and central defenders," he said.

“In some positions we need help. The squad is good - the problem is we don’t have the squad and that makes everything difficult.

“When we’re all together we’re the team we were but with important players out for weeks and months it’s so difficult.

“I thought central defenders would be fit all season but we have struggled - holding midfield and central defenders [is where] we need help. The market is the market, it’s not easy. It’s expensive so we will see what the club can do.”
