Do Man City need to sign a defender in January? Demichelis suggests not

The former Blues star sees no reason for the club to dip into the winter market despite seeing John Stones and Vincent Kompany suffer fitness issues

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has no need to sign a new defender in January, says Martin Demichelis.

Plans for the winter window are in the process of being drawn up by clubs across the Premier League, with one final opportunity to add in 2017-18 set to present itself.

City could be tempted to splash the cash again on the back of a big-spending summer, with suggestions that reinforcements could be sought at the back.
