Southampton boss Ronald Koeman says they will consider a move in the January market.
Saints are not expected to be particularly active, and Koeman admits if they do dip into the transfer market it will be a late decision based on a number of factors.
He explained: "It doesn't depend on winning or losing of the next month, it depends on the players that we have and we know that (Sadio) Mane has to play Africa Cup, Maya Yoshida will play Asia Cup.
"We don't need a lot of players because I am happy about the players that we have.
"Maybe it depends on injuries that you need somebody to bring in but it's too early to make conclusions about that."
