Burnley boss Sean Dyche retains hope of adding to his squad in the next few weeks.
Burnley have seen three bids for centre back Craig Dawson turned down by West Bromwich Albion, while further attempts to bring in players have also been thwarted.
"We're still looking to add to the group," Dyche told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.
"There's a few getting closer and closer and we're working hard to get them over the line. The frustration is that for 18 months we had no real money to speak of that we could use in the market.
"Now we have got some money but the market is running away from us again because we have the smallest budget in the Premier League.
"There has to be a reality to our financial planning of course, so it's difficult to just throw money at situations to get them over the line.
"We have to work within the market, keep nipping away at it and wait for things to develop rather than throwing massive money at situations to make them develop."
