Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini hints at further spending

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has suggested that he could sign more players before the start of the season.

The Premier League champions have already added three players to their squad this summer, including defender Bacary Sagna from Arsenal.

However, Pellegrini believes that he may need to boost his ranks even further ahead of his side's season opener away to Newcastle United on August 17.

"I don't think the squad is complete yet but we have six weeks before the transfer window closes," the Chilean coach is quoted as saying by Goal.com.

"Perhaps there is the option to bring one or more players in, or maybe one or two will leave our squad but there is time for us to consider what is best for our team."

City start their pre-season of the USA tonight when they play Sporting Kansas City.
