Jewell has already signed nine new players since County's relegation from the Premier League - but he is keen to strengthen his squad further.
Speaking after Wednesday evening's 2-0 friendly victory at Burton, Jewell told the club's official website: "We have made offers for two strikers and a midfielder that we are hoping will happen."
