Leyton Orient boss Martin Ling has stepped up his search for two new strikers ahead of the club's pre-season matches.

Ling has already strengthened his defence and midfield with the captures of Stephen Purches, John Melligan, Tamika Mkandawire and Paul Terry already this summer and is now turning his attention to his attacking options.

"I always knew the striker positions would be the hardest to fill because they are probably the most valued players in football," he revealed.

"We have been in talks with a few players again this week, although because there are other clubs interested in them as well we've not moved into the advanced stages yet.

"There is however money available in the budget to pay a fee if we need to make sure that we get the right people in."
