City have played most of their matches this season without a designated striker after Sergio Aguero’s exit in the summer..
According to Guardiola: “I think the club needs a striker, definitely,

“You say we play fantastically well without a striker because we are winning. When we are not winning, you say we need a striker.
“[You say] ‘how do these guys play without a striker? In the Premier League you have to play with a striker’.
“So, we need a striker, I think the club is going to try.”
City has been trying for a while now to sign Tottenham’s Harry Kane, but Spurs has repeatedly turned down bids for the striker.
Spanish striker Ferran Torres seemed to have solved the club’s striker problem earlier this season when he scored a brace against Arsenal.
However, like Aguero, Torres departed City for Barcelona in January.
HOW HAS GUARDIOLA AND CITY COPED SO FAR?
Without a natural striker available to him, Guardiola had filled the centre-forward position with the likes of Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling and Jack Grealish.
Despite this, Guardiola has seen City score more goals than anybody in the top flight league -besides Liverpool- with a total of 64 league goals in 27 games.
