Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has admitted that he needs to be flexible when allocating his budget during the January transfer window.
The Cherries have slipped down to 17th position in the Championship table despite a promising start to the campaign, and Howe has hinted that he will need to be creative in order to make the most of the money available to him.
The 36-year-old told BBC Radio Solent: "Is there money available? I'm really not sure. There are funds, but how much is a difficult question to answer.
"We have priority positions. It's an ongoing process because every window is different and you get a couple of injuries and it throws up different problems for you.
"But we have the type of player in mind to improve. Things change, targets change, you have to be flexible."
Howe will be hoping to move away from the relegation zone when his side travel to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
