Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson wants to make five major signings this summer.

The Mirror says Eriksson believes he needs at least five new players this summer, including a prolific striker, a holding midfielder, right-sided player and keeper if City are to challenge for the big prizes.

Eriksson told chairman Thaksin Shinawatra yesterday he needs around £50million to strengthen City's squad for a push for major honours.

Although Eriksson is unlikely to be handed that figure, the City boss can expect in the region of £30m to add to the £50m he has spent on players in his eight months in charge.
