Southampton boss Nigel Adkins hopes to add to his squad this week before their Premier League opener at Manchester City.
Adkins hasn't ruled out any further additions to the squad soon.
"We are still actively working to bring players in," he told saintsfc.co.uk. "I know that we are working very hard and having spoken to the Chairman yesterday I am very excited because I know how hard he is working to make things happen.
"We have been out and about identifying players and as we have said, we will do all of that privately and behind the scenes because until they sign that piece of paper they aren't your player."
