Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson admits a deal for Esteban Cambiasso could be scuppered by agents.
A two-year contract is on the cards for Cambiasso, but Pearson is experiencing the added difficulties of securing players in the Premier League as opposed to the Championship.
"It's a case of working out who represents who and adding strength to the squad," said Pearson.
"There are more potential representatives because the profile of any club in top flight has more media exposure, so there are greater chances of details around deals to be leaked.
"We're still trying to look in markets where there isn't a general interest, not chasing players where it's common ground for many clubs.
"It's proving to be difficult, it has been all summer, but I'm very clear on the fact it's very important for us to acquire players who will be right for us.
"I don't intend in last few days adding for the sake of it. We continue to recruit with standards we always have done.
"It's fair to say we could do with one or two more but that's not to say I'm not pleased with the payers we have already."
