We need a keeper, we have to beef up the central defence department, we need fullbacks this is because we did not defend well last season, we let in very easy goals. We need midfielders, right and left-wingers, and a number 9, we did not score enough goals last season so it is strengthening the entire team in preparation for next season,” the former Bidco United midfielder told Mozzart Sport.
