00:00You admitted on Wednesday that you're actively looking to try to sign a forward in this transfer window.
00:05Do you think that you can still challenge for the title this year without any reinforcements?
00:10At the moment we don't have them. We are trying, as I said, actively to find the best possible solution.
00:17But we will have to wait and see what we can do.
00:20How challenging is it to find the right player? What profile are you looking for in the forward that you want to bring in?
00:26Obviously it's not something that I'm going to discuss here.
00:29We have lost two massive players for us in the front line and we need some support there.
00:35We understand that Martin Zubremendi could be joining the club in the summer.
00:39I won't ask you about that directly, but with contracts running out for the likes of Thomas Partey and Jorginho,
00:44is midfield an area you're looking to strengthen in?
00:47We have certain situations where contracts expire and we can renew, like we have done in the past, those contracts.
00:54We are actively evolving the squad and understanding what the players want to do when they finish our contracts together.
01:02We have to be prepared.
