Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards thinks the team needs to sign a centre-forward.

The Citizens are hoping to win back the Premier League title they lost to Liverpool last season.

Despite having Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus, Richards thinks they need more firepower, given the Argentine's injury record.

The former Blues defender told Sky Sports: "I think Man City do need a striker just because of Aguero's injury record over the past couple of seasons.

"He always seems to be injured when they need him the most, in the big games. Who can you get?

"They've got a similar situation to Liverpool where if they go into the market, who's going to be happy to sit on the bench?

"If Aguero's fit, then he starts. So, it's difficult to bring in a striker.

"Jesus, yeah, he's not the same level as Aguero but every time he plays, his goal record is quite good. It's difficult."
