West Brom boss Alan Pardew admits they will seek to work the January market.
The Baggies have scored just 12 goals in 16 league games this season, and haven't found the net in either of Pardew's two games in charge.
"January is not far away, and we're going to have to look at that if we can't increase our goalscoring ratio," he said after defeat at Swansea City. "It's not great and we need to improve it.
"We have a difficult Christmas programme but a programme where we could get a couple of wins, wins that will make it look a lot different."
Pardew added: "I thought we had some outstanding performances. Jonny (Evans) and Ahmed (Hegazi) were great, Jake Livermore was great.
"It's just in those offensive areas. The endeavour is definitely there.
"But to have a great offensive display is pulling people around, creating moments, making sliding runs, getting shots off at goal. In that area we struggled."
