Al-Ittihad manager Nuno Espirito Santo has not denied the possibility of making more signings in the summer transfer window.
The Tigers picked up their second win of the season on Saturday after defeating Al-Tai 2-0 to maintain a perfect start to the new Saudi Pro League campaign.
Morocco international Abderrazak Hamdallah opened the scoring after 56 minutes before Saleh Al-Amri grabbed the winner in stoppage time.
Speaking after the win, Nuno Santo praised his side but believes his side still has a lot of offer over the course of the season.
“It was a difficult game against a solid team,” Santo said in the press conference. “In the first half, we couldn’t score, but in the second we had some good attacking moves and remained compact.
“At times when Al-Tai tried to attack, we were organised, defended well, and ultimately got what we wanted out of this game.
“I believe that today’s victory is a well-deserved one, and I dedicate it to the fans in the stadium. It’s still early in the season and the performance levels will improve with time.
“More signings? I completely respect and understand this question coming from you, but there are things in football that we prefer to discuss internally within the club,” he added.
Al-Ittihad have already managed to sign a number of world-class players including Fabinho, N’Golo Kanté, Karim Benzema, and Jota.
The champions have also been recently linked with Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah as Saudi Arabia legend Mohammed Noor claimed that the Egyptian is 75% likely to join Ittihad this summer.
