Chester City boss Mark Wright is close to finalising a deal to sign Lincoln City winger Ryan Semple on a three-month loan.
Wright knows Semple well from his time in charge at Peterborough United and is confident the 21-year-old will be a big hit at the Deva Stadium.
He told the Daily Post: "I've always been an admirer of Ryan's ability and he's the sort of player who will excite our supporters.
"I tried to sign him at the end of last season but Peterborough were asking for a six-figure sum.
"However, now it looks like we've clinched the deal and the formalities should be completed in the next couple of days."
Semple has made just three appearances, all as a substitute, since joining Lincoln from Peterborough in the summer.
