Town boss Mick McCarthy is hoping to make an addition to his squad early in January but wouldn’t comment on links with Fulham striker Cauley Woodrow.
"Hopefully, yes. I hope so,” McCarthy said when asked if there might be a new signing in time for the Lincoln City or Blackburn Rovers games soon after the transfer window opens.

Town defender Adam Webster has also been the subject of speculation with Sunderland and Everton among the clubs to have been linked with the centre-half, but McCarthy says he has no plans to cash in on the 21-year-old.
"I wouldn’t look to sell him at all, I’ve no desire to sell him,” he said. "We bought him and I think we nicked him from under the noses from some who dawdled and didn’t do it and we’ve got a really good player, one that I think the team should be built around, not to be taken away.
"He’s a terrific talent and he’s only going to get better. But I’m not surprised [clubs have been linked] because you’ve heard me wax lyrical about him and I guess the one thing I do know about is centre-halves, if nothing else.”
If a Premier League club were to offer a very significant fee for the former Portsmouth man might Town then be tempted? "You’d have to ask [owner] Marcus [Evans] that.”
As previously reported, Pompey are entitled to 20 per cent of the profit the Blues would make on Webster if he were to be sold.
