He said: "We have a couple of targets in midfield. I've enquired about one player who is under contract so a fee would be required.
"There are also a few out-of-contract midfielders who we have enquired about who have potential to improve.
"There might be a couple of younger players aged 20 or 21 who perhaps have lost their way a little bit.
"We played against one lad last year who has a lot of talent and we would like to work with.
"I've spoken to a left-back, who is athletic, young, and impressed in League Two and we think we can improve. He wants to come and we hope that will be finalised soon."
