Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp has revealed he is monitoring a number of potential transfer targets and some new strikers are at the top of his summer wish-list.

Pompey have been plagued by a host of injuries to attacking players and a subsequent lack of goals this term, which has seen them draw five blanks in their last six Premiership games.

Nwankwo Kanu is the club's top-scorer with ten this term, but the combined forces of Benjani Mwaruwari, Lomana LuaLua and Andrew Cole have mustered just nine more, leading to Redknapp scouring the transfer market for some more striking talent.

"The club need to look forward again. I'm looking to strengthen and looking to push on. I've got three or four good targets who would make us stronger next season," he told the Portsmouth News.

"They would give us a chance of finishing in the top half next season. It's why in the summer I'm looking to bring in one or two strikers. We've got to keep moving forward.

"I like all four of the main ones who I've used this season. They've all done okay, but we've relied a lot on Kanu this season. He's had a fantastic year."
