Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino has insisted that he will not rush into any transfer deals during the January window.
The Saints, who have won just one of their last nine league matches, have been linked with a move for Cagliari defender Davide Astori after their 3-0 defeat to Chelsea on New Year's Day.
However, Pochettino has said that his main aim is to bring key players back from injury, such as goalkeeper Artur Boruc and midfielder Victor Wanyama.
"Just because we have lost against Chelsea, that doesn't make me interested in the transfer market," Clubcall.com quotes Pochettino as saying.
"The most important thing right now is to recover the players that are injured for us. It is very important to keep our best players. But also to recover the players that have been injured for quite a while.
"To get everybody fit and playing as a unit, that's going to reinforce the squad a lot."
Southampton currently sit ninth in the Premier League.
