Bristol Rovers coach Paul Trollope is keen to bring a new striker to the club in a bid to improve the Pirates' goalscoring record.

Rovers sold Junior Agogo to Nottingham Forest last month and have managed to score only six times in their nine League Two matches to date as they languish in 17th position.

Trollope has signed Rickie Lambert from Rochdale but is still in the market for another forward.

"It's still a possibility," he told the Bristol Evening Post.

"It was well-documented at the time we signed Rickie that possibly we could have got two people in. Maybe we'll look into the loan market in the near future.

"It's something that the chairman has spoken to us about and I think he's happy for it to go ahead. It's just a question of identifying the one we want, the player wanting to come and the clubs agreeing a deal."
