Brentford are exploring other options after seeing a loan move for Danny Graham go down the pan.
The Bees looked set to sign the Sunderland striker on a short-term deal until the new year, only for the move to hit a snag.
And with a deal for Graham now appearing unlikely, Brentford boss Mark Warburton will look elsewhere for more firepower.
Sporting director Frank McParland is scouring the market for possible additions as the Bees try to boost their options before the loan window closes next month.
But Warburton has warned he won't bring anyone in just to make up the numbers at Griffin Park.
Speaking earlier this month, he said: "If any player comes available that will add value to what we’ve got and within our budget we will move."
