Thompson, 25, currently playing in Norway with Notodden FK, spent last week training with Davey's squad at Oakwell and impressed the Tykes boss after stepping into central midfield in Saturday's 1-1 friendly draw with Manchester City. Davey said: "We're in negotiations with his club now. We're quietly confident. Maybe not in time for this weekend because there will be issues with international clearance. "But that's not going to put us off. He's a versatile player and that's what we're looking for. He would be challenging the central defenders and he will also challenge for a central midfield spot. "That's what we want, a player with a multitude of talents capable of playing in several positions."
