An injury crisis has made Mike Phelan's task at Hull City even tougher and he is looking for January reinforcements.
Hull City boss Mike Phelan has confirmed his intention to sign a striker in the January transfer window, with Southampton's Jay Rodriguez mooted as a potential target.
The Tigers face a striker shortage having lost Will Keane to a long-term knee injury and with Abel Hernandez suffering from a recurring groin problem.
Phelan's team will come up against an in-form West Brom outfit this Saturday and the manager is well aware of the difference a new striker would have in such crucial games:
"You don't win matches without scoring goals and strikers are the main ones do that," he said.
