Swindon have lost defenders Scott Cuthbert and Alan Sheehan to Leyton Orient and Notts County respectively while reports that new boss Paolo di Canio is close to a deal for Chelsea youth striker Milan Lalkovic.
Slovak Lalkovic, 19, is highly thought of at Stamford Bridge and signed a contract last summer that will take him through to the start of the 2012/13 campaign.
While Swindon could certainly do with a prolific hit man in front of goal, they will probably employ the lad in the midfield or on either wing.
Given the porous state of the Swindon defence last season, expect to see di Canio make a move into the market to shore things up in that department pretty soon.
Meanwhile Wycombe central defender Leon Johnson has made his competitive debut for Grenada in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, but they went down by four goals to Jamaica.
Johnson 30-year-old Blues defender played 90 minutes in the Group B in front of 21,507 fans at the Home Depot Centre – home to LA Galaxy.
