Jardim eager for 'one or two' late transfer deals

Nelson Jardim says Newport County could add "one or two" more players to their ranks before next Monday's 23:00 GMT transfer deadline.

The Exiles have brought in goalkeeper Lewis Webb, full-back Tom Davies and versatile forward Josh Martin this month in addition to extending striker Kyle Hudlin's loan from Huddersfield Town.

While Jardim feels Newport's squad is already stronger than it was prior to the winter window, he says the club could further bolster their options, particularly given the muscle injury sustained by Davies during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Salford City.

"We are quite happy with everything we've done. We've got different solutions for different positions," he told BBC Sport Wales.

"Tom, we were not expecting to lose him now. He came to fill a position that we were actually waiting for three months to fill - that left-sided position. We only have [Anthony] Glennon in there.

"In terms of the other positions, we're always assessing the market, but if we don't feel it's the right player or character to join this club, we're not going to do it.

"If something is there for us, if it's right for us then we will do it. We're not forcing anything. But if we have the chance, we will do one or two."

Jardim says Newport chairman Huw Jenkins is "on top of everything" regarding potential transfers.

"In terms of signings, he's going to make the final calls, but we are working together to make sure we are stronger," he added.

"I think this transfer window shows that we are a stronger team than we were previously."
