In his press conference ahead of the trip to Reading, Marcelo Bielsa was asked how the club was approach the transfer window, with five weeks to go until it opens.

"Victor Orta is working with that he always had information about this," he said.

"If we have any needs, I am sure that Victor and his group is in good condition to bring solution to us. It always has been like that since we are working here. In the sense that for one problem, you have one recommendation, one possible solution what we have analysed a lot and is possbile.

"Some players fit to the style of the team and in this sense Victor Orta and his group are always making good recommendations for us.

"But if you have a need it's not now, you will have it close to this time.

 Five weeks is a short period to try to find solutions but to realise which need you have it's a long period. So if any needs appear, Victor and his group, they have possible solutions in case we need it."
