Man City boss Pellegrini admits buying English no priority

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini admits there's no priority in buying English players.

Pellegrini was asked about interest in Danny Welbeck before his move from Manchester United to Arsenal.

"At that moment no, because we had Negredo, Dzeko, Aguero and Jovetic - four strikers," he said. "Now we have one player less but we had less choice and could not spend the money.

"We're not only interested in English players, we're interested in players of all nationalities if they are good players.

"Arsenal are a very strong team with Alexis Sanchez, a very important player, and now with Welbeck."
