Mansfield Town manager Billy Dearden hopes to be able to tempt the former Lincoln City, Grimsby Town and Peterborough United defender Ben Futcher to move to Field Mill this summer.
The Stags face competition from Bury for the 26-year-old's signature, but Dearden is confident he will get his man.
He told the Nottingham Evening Post: "I've spoken to Ben three times and shown him around. Now we're just waiting to see if he'll come.
"He's a smashing lad and he'd strengthen us in the central defensive department and bring good competition.
"Ben is going on holiday for two weeks and has told me he wants a long think about it. It could be we find out before then because we can keep in touch on the mobiles."
