Swansea City have tracked Charlton Athletic striker Macauley Bonne in the summer transfer window.
However, it appears unlikely that the Swans will make a move for the frontman who is likely to be out of their price range.
Steve Cooper is determined to add at least one forward to his ranks having seen Rhian Brewster return to Liverpool in the summer.
However, speaking after the 0-0 draw with Birmingham City at the Liberty Stadium, the head coach said his side had hit something of a brick wall when it came to bringing in a forward.
When asked if there has been any progress on signing a frontman, Cooper said: "No. I'd love to say yes, but there's not. It's difficult to get the player we want when we haven't got any money to spend. It's a tight market."
Reports in the national media recently stated that Swansea - along with Huddersfield Town, Barnsley and Queens Park Rangers - are among a clutch of clubs interested in Bonne.
It's suggested Lee Bowyer's side have already rejected two bids for Bonne, the second of which is thought to be worth around £1.5m from QPR.
And given the finances involved, it appears unlikely that Swansea will realistically be in the running to strike a deal with the Addicks for Bonne.
The Zimbabwe international netted 11 goals in his 33 Championship outings for Charlton last term.
Meanwhile, Swansea are understood to be targeting Brighton man Viktor Gyokeres.
Cooper is also keen to add an experienced centre-back to his squad before the conclusion of the transfer window.
