Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insists that he is "happy" with his squad, but refuses to rule out January arrivals.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has insisted that he is "happy" with his squad but refused to rule out further additions in the January transfer window.

The Spaniard spent almost £170m on new players upon his arrival at the club and will also see the £27m signing of Gabriel Jesus completed after that deal was agreed during the summer.

Guardiola was coy on just how much business he is expecting to do when the window reopens, but did suggest that one or two players could be leaving amid speculation over the future of Fabian Delph.

"Until now I am happy with what we have and I give confidence to the players that we have," he told reporters.

"I am not denying maybe we are going to look for something - I am not saying that - but I think right now it is not going to happen. What we have to do - the players, with the quality they have - they have to be able to convince themselves to put out all their qualities. That is what they have to do.

"I am happy with the players we have. Of course Gabriel Jesus is coming and we will have another striker. I am happy with the players and we are going to finish the season with all of them... almost all of them."

City currently sit third in the Premier League table, seven points off leaders Chelsea.
