Former Wales striker Sam Vokes believes Swansea City may need to sign a forward this month having lost Adam Idah to injury.
Republic of Ireland international Idah has been ruled out for up to three months with a hamstring injury.
With Liam Cullen also sidelined, by a calf injury, Zan Vipotnik is Swansea's only fit centre-forward aside from youngster Bobby Wales.
Vokes is a big fan of Vipotnik, but says Swansea's 12-goal leading scorer may need some help.
"I like Vipotnik. He is on 10 [league] goals. That's a good return for a Swansea side who haven't been creating a great amount of chances," Vokes told this week’s Feast of Football podcast.
"With Adam Idah out, can he carry the team and lead the line for the rest of the season? I am not sure. They may have to look in the market for someone else.
"He is the man they have been relying on but with Idah injured, maybe they need someone else."
Wales, who has scored once in five substitute appearances since joining from Kilmarnock last summer, could be in contention for a first Swansea start when Vitor Matos' team face West Brom in the FA Cup third round on Sunday (14:30 GMT).
