Northampton Town chairman David Cardoza has revealed manager Stuart Gray is closing in on "four to five players" as he looks to freshen up his squad.
Cardoza claims the Cobblers will operate with a smaller squad than last season - but one he believes will contain more quality.
"Stuart Gray is looking at bringing in four to five players, mainly attacking options," he told the club's official website.
"Stuart has a number of players he is targeting, both in central attacking areas and also right-sided players.
"The wage budget for next season is similar to this season but we will have less players.
"Stuart is aiming for a squad of 22 quality players who can all play in the first team, rather than a 26- or 27-man squad, some of whom are youngsters who are unlikely to play regular first-team football.
"We want to have a slightly smaller squad than last season, but more quality."
