Hull City have made an offer for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Delron Buckley after he impressed while on trial at the Premier League newcomers.
The South Africa international joined the Tigers at their pre-season training camp in Belgium last month where he impressed manager Phil Brown.
"We've got a bid on the table for Delron Buckley with Borussia Dortmund and we're waiting on that one," Brown told the Hull Daily Mail.
"It hasn't been accepted but it's not a million miles away. Once that's accepted, we'll talk to the player and discuss terms.
"If something better comes along in the next couple of weeks then Delron and Borussia Dortmund might miss out. But he's a good lad with quality, pace, a trick and a very good left foot.
"If we want two players for each position then the pressure is on the likes of Bryan Hughes and Peter Halmosi - that's what we're after."
Meanwhile, the Tigers are set to open talks with Marlon King after reportedly agreeing a £3.5million fee with Wigan Athletic for the Jamaica striker.
