City have so far made 11 signings since the window opened, and the Bosnian has revealed he's 80 per cent sure the so far unnamed player will complete a move to the club in the coming days to make it 12.

The player in question is a midfielder, capable of operating in the deep-lying number six role, or further forward in the more advanced number eight position.
