The January transfer window is always an interesting on for Manchester City.
Of course, Pep Guardiola is always looking to improve his playing squad, and the in-season market is an opportunity to do so if they're looking to enhance their chances of making the season a successful one.

However, they are usually active in the market - signing numerous academy players in the past.
