Pep Guardiola says Manchester City may sign one player before the end of the transfer market, but only if they are a right fit for his side.

City have made only one transfer so far this summer in the form of winger Riyad Mahrez, who joined in a £60 million deal from Leicester City.

By comparison, some City’s closest rivals have had far busier summers, with Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United bringing in four, five and three new players each – with the former of the three spending over £160 million to bring in all of Naby Keita, Fabinho, Xherdan Shaqiri and Brazil number one Alisson.

Guardiola however remains un-phased by the transfer activities of those around him, instead remaining focused on his own squad, which he believes is strong enough as it currently stands.

“If we sign a player, we will sign one more. At this moment, we will stay [as we are],” said Guardiola when asked about any potential deals being struck in the next two weeks.

“Transfers are so expensive. We spent a lot last year because we had an old team. We will carry on with the same guys [as last year] and maybe one more.”

“Personality is the most important thing,’ said Guardiola. “You have to know them.

“I love to work with nice people. I hate to work with people who are not respectful to their team-mates, or the manager, or the club. Of course, skills are important too – to have quality on the pitch.”
