Man City simply must sign a defender in January – and here’s why

Manchester City look to be adapting well to new manager Pep Guardiola’s style of play. The Citizens find themselves lying in 4th place in the Premier League table as we move into December, on the cusp of the busy festive period.

City are within touching distance of the top, and must be thinking about what additions they should make to their squad next month if they are to pip their title rivals and be crowned champions of England.

But what a squad it is, on paper they have a number quality options for most positions. But they must be able to improve somewhere, they’re not the prefect team yet, that’s for sure.

We here at Shoot! reckon they could do with a new full back or two, would their current options of Kolorov, Clichy, Sagna and Zabaleta get into any of the top European teams like Barca, Bayern or Juventus? The answer is probably not. With that in mind here are THREE reasons why City must sign a defender in January.
