Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has pushed the team to buy a centre-back and a holding midfielder during the January transfer window.
Guardiola thinks Man City will be revitalised by both acquisitions.
With a 2-0 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday, Guardiola’s team finally snapped their five-match losing streak.
Prior to their victory over Leicester, the Cityzens had only won one of their previous nine Premier League games.
Man City is now four points outside of the top four in the Premier League.
This season, City has also been impacted by injuries; holding midfielder Rodri is not expected to return to action for the Premier League winners.
Additionally, out of Man City’s last 13 games, centre-back John Stones has only appeared in two, while centre-back Ruben Dias has also missed the last three games.
Speaking to Sky Sports on Sunday, Guardiola said: “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.
“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 are all together, we are 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. We need help. The market is the market; it’s not easy; it’s expensive so we will see what the club can do.”
