Man City: the striker, the regret of Guardiola

Since the departure of Sergio Agüero, at the end of his contract, at FC Barcelona during the last summer transfer window, Manchester City has only one professional number nine in its workforce: Gabriel Jesus. This leaves a rather limited choice to the Mancunian coach, Pep Guardiola, who regularly deprives himself of a top striker at the start of the season. And the Spaniard does not hide it: he would have liked a summer recruit.

“We play that way, but we can’t always do it. We have to attack the spaces in the last third of the pitch with more people. We don’t have a surface attacker, who feels the goal. ‘we don’t have this type of player,’ regretted the Skyblues coach at a press conference.

As a reminder, the reigning English champion has long tried to recruit striker Harry Kane, but Tottenham refused to let go.
