SAINTS will again look to bolster their forward line when the Football League loan window reopens next week.
Caretaker manager Dean Wilkins revealed the club had tried to bring in some new faces on Tuesday ahead of the transfer deadline.
But, despite their efforts, Saints were unable to secure any signings.
“We’ve tried, we have tried, but it hasn’t worked out,” said Wilkins.
The man who has stepped into Alan Pardew’s shoes has admitted the squad does need strengthening, and it is no secret the club has been looking to add players up front and out wide.
Before his sacking on Monday, Pardew was known to have wanted to inject some pace into the team.
The Echo understands he was showing interest in Nottingham Forest forward Nathan Tyson, as well as wingers Franck Moussa, of Leicester, and Michael McIndoe, of Coventry.
None of those came to fruition, though.
But Wilkins insists the search for new blood in the form of a loan deal has not ended.
