Mansfield Town boss Billy Dearden is keen to sign midfielder Peter Gain who was released by Peterborough United earlier this week.
However, the Stags chief accepts that the 31-year-old former Lincoln City star is likely to choose Dagenham & Redbridge rather than his side.
"I've been keeping my eye on Peter for a few weeks now," Dearden told Town's official website.
"I feel he could give us more of a balance down the left-hand side.
"But at this moment in time, through illness to one of his parents, he's probably going to sign for Dagenham. With him being from down that way he'll probably decide that he wants to be close to home.
"If he decides to go to Dagenham then I fully understand."
