Shamrock Rovers boss Stephen Bradley wants to strengthen his title-chasing squad in the summer.
Rovers have opened an early eight-point lead over Bohemians but have played two games more than all of their rivals.
Off-season arrivals like Jack Byrne and Aaron McEneff have made instant impacts in the side.
But Bradley believes Rovers can improve even more and said yesterday: "Hopefully the right players become available to make us stronger.
“We did that last summer when we brought in Dylan [Watts] and Alan [Mannus] and it really settled us. It helped us gain momentum in how we played.
“Then we did it in the off-season and we'll try do it this summer. Whether we can or not I don't know, because it depends what's available.
“But if the players we feel are the right players for us become available, we'll definitely look to do it.”
Another striker could be a priority as well as defensive cover and Bradley will look in Ireland and abroad.
“The market here is very limited but if the right player becomes available, 100% they'll be here - we've targets throughout,” he said.
“But we won’t be signing players just to have numbers, that won’t be the case. We sign players who will improve us and make us better.”
Another Republic of Ireland call-up firmly at the back of Jack Byrne's mind
