Spanish Segunda manager Rich Marsh today gave the broadest hint that he is on the verge of securing the services of a World Class striker in his push for promotion to La Liga.

"We always knew that we were going to find it tough this season, the Chairman's target reflects that.

We also knew that our trip to Real Zaragoza was going to be punishing given their unbeaten status in the league and miserly defence.

With Real having Adebayor scorching through the Segunda it's clear that I had to do something and I'm delighted that we've secured the services of a prolific hitman.

He should be in the squad in time for the Celta Vigo game where he can gel with the lads. I'm expecting him to start making his mark in the grudge match with Almeria and my good friend and sometime nemesis Arthur Gillion."

There's been no hint as to the identity of the player. Watch this space.
