Southampton boss Ronald Koeman aims to be active in the January market.
Koeman is determined to bolster Southampton's strength and depth, admitting the St Mary's club lag behind traditional Premier League powers in squad size.
"I will speak to the board of the club, about what we need and what we would like to do," said Koeman.
"This is the hardest league (in the world) because you can lose against everybody. You have to be prepared every game and you can't play on 70 per cent.
"You have to be 100 per cent and that's difficult for us, because we need everybody.
"Everybody needs to be fit and we don't have the numbers and players that the big teams have, and that's difficult."
