Soccer-Man City 'definitely' need to bring in striker, says Guardiola

(Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said the Premier League leaders will look to sign a striker in the close season as they seek a long-term replacement for record scorer Sergio Aguero.

Guardiola's side have played without a recognised centre forward throughout the current campaign after Argentine Aguero left the club at the end of the last campaign.

City also missed out with several attempts to sign England striker Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur.

"I think the club needs a striker, definitely," Guardiola was quoted as saying by the BBC ahead of Sunday's derby at home to Manchester United.

"You say we play fantastically well without a striker because we are winning. When we are not winning, you say we need a striker."
