Manchester City football director Txiki Begiristain says that the club are not planning to enter the transfer market in January.

Manchester City football director Txiki Begiristain has said that the club will not be in the market for new players during the January transfer window.

Pep Guardiola's side have only recorded four wins from their last 15 outings and it had been suggested that the Spaniard could consider strengthening his squad at the turn of the year.

However, Begiristain has insisted that only Gabriel Jesus - who agreed to leave Palmeiras for City last summer - will be arriving next month as Guardiola keeps faith with his current group.

He is quoted by the Manchester Evening News as saying: "We already have done [our business]. We have Jesus coming – he will strengthen our attack, so we are happy."

City currently sit in fourth position in the Premier League table - seven points behind leaders Chelsea.
