St Mirren are locked in talks in a bid to land Alex Gogic from Hibs before the transfer window closes.
Record Sport revealed that the Buddies were keen on the Cypriot international earlier this month.
English side Fleetwood Town are also admirers but St Mirren look favourites to secure a deal before the window shuts.
Buddies boss Jim Goodwin is looking to bolster his squad for the second half of the season.
It is likely to see Gogic go to Paisley for the rest of the season.
The former Hamilton player is out of contract in the summer and has been told by Hibs that he can leave in this window.
Shaun Maloney is trying to put his own stamp on the Hibs squad and the combative ex-Accies star has been offered the chance to remain in Scottish football with the Saints.
The 27-year-old became a favourite at Easter Road with some early displays but has found himself on the fringes in recent times.
