Howe stated that he won’t sell players in January unless he is told it will benefit the squad’s long-term outlook.
Asked if they may sell to buy, Howe said: “Hopefully we won't lose anybody we won't want to lose.
“I think everything has got to align, I think there has got to be a lot of things that come together. It's got to be right, not just for the here and now but for the future as well.
“We've got to be responsible to make sure any decision we make doesn't affect us in future windows as well.”
