Nelson Jardim says he wants more from his current crop of Newport County players despite revealing the club have a "clear idea" on potential January transfer window activity.

The Exiles brought in striker Geoffroy Bony, son of former Manchester City and Swansea City player Wilfried, last week.

They could further bolster their squad next month, particularly with midfielder Aaron Wildig set to miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury.

But Jardim says Newport must wait until closer to Christmas to have a clearer idea of whether or not they will need to be active in the winter window.

"I want more from the ones I've got at the moment and they know that," explained Jardim.

"Obviously you're always assessing what's happening, what type of injuries you've got and we've just had a bad one from Wildig. That makes you think in different areas of the pitch.

"We're also starting to assess what we've got at the moment but we still feel it's a little bit early.

"Towards the middle of December, we've got more games and we'll have a better idea of what we need.

"We are planning, we've got a clear idea of what the possibilities are. There's a lot of work in the background that we have to do and keep assessing - sometimes it's a day-by-day thing."
