Pep Guardiola Speaks On Man City’s Striker Deficiency

Manchester City have played without a recognised centre forward throughout the current Premier League season after Argentine Aguero left the club at the end of the last campaign.

City also missed out with several attempts to sign England striker Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur.

Pep Guardiola has however said the Premier League leaders will look to sign a striker in the close season.

“I think the club needs a striker, definitely,” Guardiola was quoted as saying by the BBC ahead of Sunday’s derby at home to Manchester United.

“You say we play fantastically well without a striker because we are winning. When we are not winning, you say we need a striker.”

Aguero, who scored 260 goals for City, left at the end of last season to join Barcelona and the club failed with a succession of bids to sign Kane as his replacement.

“(You say) ‘how do these guys play without a striker? In the Premier League you have to play with a striker’,” said Guardiola.

“So, we need a striker, I think the club is going to try.”
