Ipswich manager Roy Keane admits he is looking to add to his squad once more when the loan window re-opens next week.

The Tractor Boys boss signed Sunderland attackers Daryl Murphy and David Healy on loan until the end of the season during the January window but wants to strengthen further.

Ipswich have clawed themselves out of the relegation zone in the Championship but Keane is still on the lookout for new players, with deals falling through before deadline day on Monday.

"We tried for one more signing on deadline day," he told the club's official website. "We were close but it didn't quite happen for us.

"It's about getting the balance of the squad right and I think there is one area that we really need to strengthen.

"We will keep looking and when the loan window opens again, we will have another look. I'd like to bring in another one or two more if we can.

"They need to be players who want to come and play at this football club though.

"If they are not sure they want to come when we talk to them then it won't happen."

Ipswich will be looking to get their first win in three games when they take on Middlesbrough at Portman Road on Saturday.
