Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola is ready to beef up his squad in the January transfer window.
However, the Spaniard insists he will not put pressure on the board to give him what he needs.
City have been linked with a move for Arsenal attacker, Alexis Sanchez, who was close to joining last summer.
A move for Sanchez looks more likely, after striker Gabriel Jesus was ruled out for around six weeks with a medial collateral ligament injury.
But Guardiola says he’s not pressuring director of football Txiki Begiristain for new arrivals.
“No, in Barcelona and Bayern or here I never pushed,” he said.
“The clubs I worked with always try to do the best – sometimes it’s possible, sometimes it’s not – but it’s not a big problem.
“We are working now for this month but for the future. I will work with the players I have. The toughest period to buy players is now, everyone wants to keep their players.
“If it happens — we do believe we need someone because we are in four competitions, then it happens, OK. If not we’ll go with the players we have and move forward,” he added.
