Plymouth Argyle boss Paul Sturrock has revealed that Austrian international midfielder Jurgen Samuel, one of his top transfer targets, visited the club last week.
The Pilgrims are keen to try and lure the 23-year-old to Home Park.
"We also showed him around Plymouth and the surrounding area, and I think he liked what he saw," Sturrock told the club's official website.
"But he's just one of three certain players - and I don't want to name the others - we're hoping to hear back from in the next few days."
Samuel was an active member of the Austrian squad at Euro 2008, winning his 13th cap at the tournament, and has been captain of Sturm Graz for the last three years.
His arrival would help the Pilgrims prepare for life wthout Peter Halmosi should the Hungarian winger complete a well-publicised move to one of several interested Premier League teams.
