Steven Pressley is set to sign former team-mate Andy Webster to beef up his fresh-faced back four.
The Coventry City manager has held talks with a couple of defenders with a view to rubber-stamping deals as soon as the club’s transfer embargo was lifted.
And the Telegraph can confirm that his principal target is Webster – currently a free agent but included in Gordon Strachan’s squad for next week’s Wembley international against England.
The 6ft 2ins, 31-year-old centre-back was set to extend his second stint with Hearts at the end of last season but that prospect was wrecked when the Tynecastle outfit went into administration.
Having played alongside him for club and country, Pressley knows his game inside out and we understand that Webster and his agent travelled to Ryton earlier this week for detailed discussions.
