He told the official site, “I'm confident we will sign a striker by the close of the transfer window.
”We have two or three lines we are pursuing and at the moment I’m just looking at the situation and deciding which avenues to pursue.
”Obviously the market is evolving and moving all the time, which is an important factor, because at this stage of the season it is not just us who are looking for a striker.
”There is Everton, Bolton and probably Manchester City and also Arsenal who are also looking to sign a striker. From our point of view it's important that we bring in the best player available and make sure that the player has the ability to improve our team.”
