Ralph Hasenhuttl has sent a desperate plea to the Southampton board over his lack of striker signings.
Saints lost Armando Broja and Shane Long over the offseason, and Hasenhuttl wants more than just Sekou Mara.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Hasenhuttl said: "He (Mara) is not the only offensive player we want to bring in. There is still somebody else to come.
“In the end, we need guys who make a difference up front.
“I think it's definitely a fact that last season, we had the best time when Armando Broja was on his highest level.
“That makes a difference in those games for us. You can see that some goals, when there is no chance, can change completely a game and turn things around.
“This is what a lot of Premier League teams have, an exceptional striker up front who makes a difference in some moments, and that makes it easier for the whole team to do the rest of the job.
“That is what we need. We were strongest last season when we had it. This season, we need the same."
