OXFORD United are looking to bring in extra attacking players during the remainder of the January transfer window.
The U’s have already made four signings this month, in goalkeeper Jamie Cumming, wingers Tyler Burey and Kyle Edwards, plus striker Will Goodwin.
However, Edwards will be unavailable until the end of March due to a hamstring injury, while Goodwin will join full training later this month, as he shakes off a quad problem.

Further injuries and fitness issues with Billy Bodin, Marcus Browne and Josh Murphy leave United head coach Des Buckingham with limited resources for the time being.
And with home games against fellow promotion candidates Barnsley and Portsmouth before the end of January, Buckingham is keen to get new forward players through the door.

He said: “At the moment, up front, we’re a little bit light in the frontline. Josh Murphy is still out and we’ve obviously lost Stan Mills.
“Kyle Edwards, Marcus Browne and Billy Bodin are still out as well, so what I’d call five potential starting players out.
“We’re still looking to recruit in the frontline, to complement what we have, because we’ve got three games before the window shuts, and against teams in and around us, so if we can freshen things up during those games, that puts us in the best position.”
