Aston Villa boss Dean Smith says he's prepared to add to his squad in January.
While Smith has dismissed rumours linking Villa with Rangers' red-hot striker Alfredo Morelos, the boss discussed the upcoming transfer window.
"At the moment, we've got two players for each position," he told the Birmingham Mail, looking ahead to January 1. "It's hard enough for the players who aren't playing regular but, as I've said before, it's their job to keep me happy not the other way around because they've got to be pushing for a place in the team.
"I'm always open to additions to better the squad. They've got to be better than what you've got. A conversation myself, Christian (Purslow) and [sporting director] Suso have had when we're looking at additions is they've got to be better than what we've already got.
"We're continuing to do that (improving players), that's the ethos of the club, players wanting to learn and get better. We're working daily to help them improve and I'm seeing improvement individually and the team as a whole.
"If Suso comes to me and says I've got a player and we go, 'Wow!' - obviously you're silly not to explore that further."
