Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini believes that there is room in his squad for five new players.

Roberto Mancini have revealed that he could add up to five players to his Manchester City squad before the new season gets underway.

The Premier League champions are yet to sign any players this summer, despite speculation linking them with a host of footballers.

Nevertheless, Mancini has admitted that he is keen capture some fresh talent, with younger players high on his wishlist.

"We are a young team because we have played together for only two years," Mancini told Sky Sports News. "We won after 50 years. We need to work harder than last year and we need to buy the players that will help the team to improve.

"We don't need big changes. We don't need 10 players like maybe two or three years ago.

"But we need three or four or five players and in these five players will be young guys for the future because it is important to put young players in the squad and make them as good as the players that we have."

City are reportedly keen to make Arsenal skipper Robin van Persie their first addition.
