Man City boss Hughes confirms he can spend big in January

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes has confirmed he can spend big in January on the right player.

Hughes met chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday with executive chairman Garry Cook.

He said: "As soon as one window closes, you begin planning for the next one, but I am quite happy with the attacking players I have.

"And I won't be bringing players in just to provide cover. It would be the wrong strategy to bring in players because of a short-term weakness.

"But if a good player is available and we think he would improve the squad on a longer basis, then we will look to do it."
