Motherwell are reportedly battling with St Mirren for ex-defender Tyler Magloire as his contract at Blackburn Rovers comes to a close.
The pacy defender spent the second half of last season loan at Fir Park from the English Championship side, and returned south in the summer.
After making four second tier appearances for Tony Mowbray's side before Halloween, he failed to make another before heading to League Two side Northampton Town on loan.
His loan with the Cobblers has been prematurely ended by injury.
A decision on his future now awaits after 10 appearances at Sixfields as the 23-year-old's deal at Blackburn expires in June.
Fir Park boss Alexander is now believed to be keen on bringing him back to the Scottish Premiership.
But ex-'Well gaffer Stephen Robinson reportedly wants him at St Mirren, according to transfer guru Alan Nixon's Patreon.
Magloire made 12 appearances for Motherwell as they secured league safety during Alexander's first five months in charge.
