Txiki Begiristain worked hard to freshen up Manchester City during the winter transfer window.

The Spaniard completed deals for Omar Marmoush and Nico Gonzalez to provide Pep Guardiola with a new option in attack and midfield respectively, while the defence was also bolstered with the additions of Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov.
