Bristol City manager Gary Johnson is keen to tie up the signing of Celtic youngster Kjartan Finnbogason as soon as possible.
The Iceland Under-21 striker has impressed Johnson during his trial spell at Ashton Gate and looks set to be handed a permanent deal.
"He looks like he has the potential to become a top player so hopefully we'll see what we can do," said the Robins boss.
"Kjartan doesn't seem keen on going back to Iceland and he's told me he'll not make any decisions about joining another Scandinavian club until his trial here is over.
"It's very important to make overseas players feel wanted when they come over. If they feel at home in the dressing room then that's half the battle won."
