Southampton technical director Johannes Spors does not expect the club to be "extremely active" in the January transfer window following a busy summer of recruitment.
Saints were 21st and three points above the relegation zone when Will Still was sacked on 3 November after three straight defeats and just two wins from the opening 13 matches (D6 L5).
But they have won six of their seven games since then under Tonda Eckert, who was rewarded with the permanent head coach role on 5 December, and now sit ninth - just one point behind the play-off spots.
