Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has confirmed he hopes to bring in "at least" one new player on Monday's transfer deadline day.
Koeman made the admission after his side's top-four hopes suffered a blow in a 1-0 defeat by Swansea City in the Premier League at St Mary's on Sunday.
The former Netherlands defender has been credited with an interest in Feyenoord's Tonny Vilhena and Filip Djuricic, who is on loan at Mainz from Benfica, but would not be drawn on names. Koeman wants 20-year-old defensive midfielder Vilhena to replace Jack Cork, who has joined Swansea.
The 51-year-old said he hoped to be active on deadline day and hinted there may be more faces through the door in his efforts to boost his side's Champions League qualification hopes.
"We will have at least one player, I think we need that," Koeman told reporters.
When asked whether Vilhena or Djuricic would be arriving at St Mary's, Koeman kept his cards close to his chest.
"I don't answer questions about names. But you will know it tomorrow," he added.
Jonjo Shelvey's superb late strike saw Swansea take all three points back to south Wales on Sunday. Ryan Bertrand was also shown a straight red card for a dangerous challenge on Modou Barrow and Koeman felt the result was harsh on his players.
"I'm disappointed, we were a little bit unlucky because we did a lot of good things and played [a] very good first half," he told Sky Sports.
