Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has hinted at the possibility of signing a new striker before the transfer window closes. Speaking about the club’s current squad, Guardiola acknowledged the need for a potential back-up for Erling Haaland due to the demanding schedule ahead.
“Erling is not going to play all the games with the schedule we have ahead of us, so you have to think about it,” Guardiola stated.
