Sevco are close to completing the £2.2m signing of Borna Barisic.
According to a report in the Daily Record a deal to sign the Osijek left-back is expected to be completed in the next 48 hours.
After beating Wigan 3-0 last Sunday Steven Gerrard stated that he wanted to bring in two new players ahead of the SPFL opener away to Aberdeen.
Sevco drew 1-1 yesterday at Pittodrie with the same group of players with no transfer fees paid out since the June 13 deal to sign Connor Goldston from Brighton.
After failing to proceed with a £6m share issue alongside the failure to bring in any cash from shirt sales it was thought that Dave King’s transfer war-chest had been emptied.
Signing Barisic would dispel those rumours with the pressure now on the Sevco board to complete the transfer after missing out on Kean Bryan to Sheffield United.
