Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson says he has his January shopping list organised.
Pearson said he was looking at long-term and short-term recruits and that his targets have been identified.
"We have players we are targeting but it's a fluid situation," he said.
"We are trying to be as efficient as we can. It's hard to do things in the timescale you would like but we will have to wait and see.
"We may have a different answer next week, that depends on how negotiations pan out and whether other clubs are prepared to let players go. That sounds very evasive but that's how it is.
"It's very much a case of trying to do business in the same way as possible.
"If we're linked in the public domain with someone it has definitely come from a different source than us."
