Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill admits he wants to buy a new striker.
"If we're still making the progress we're doing now it's definitely something we'd want to look at," O'Neill said in the Daily Star.
"If you have aspirations of trying to get close to the top you should have a few alternatives in attack.
"With the best will in the world, Gabby Agbonlahor and John Carew are not going to play every match."
