Manchester City boss Stuart Pearce has admitted that he is keen to bring in one more new player before the transfer window shuts later this week.
Pearce has had to use strikers Darius Vassell and Georgios Samaras on the left side of midfield this season, but would like to sign a left-sided player to fill the gap more permanently.
He said: "We are still unbalanced in the sense we do not have a left-sided midfield player.
"It is something we have been trying to address and will continue to do so until Thursday, but it has been difficult because of the budget situation and the availability of players.
"The beauty of having a squad of players who want to work for you is the fact that neither Georgios nor Darius questioned what I wanted to do.
"They could have argued against it, but they didn't and, under the circumstances, that is very helpful.
"But the left-sided situation is one we will have to address."
