Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman is on the brink of signing Portuguese defender Mauro Silva Almeida, as they look to safeguard their Football League status.
The League Two strugglers have returned from their training session in Spain with former Porto centre-back Almeida in tow.
Stanley do not return to action until 3rd February when Chester City are the visitors to The Fraser Eagle Stadium.
And a club spokesman has come out to clarify the situation, as it seems a mere matter of time before Almeida completes a move.
"The team only got back from Spain last night. He is just on trial at the moment but he is going to sign soon," a club spokesman revealed. Stanley are currently 18th in the table, just two points above the relegation zone though, and will hope Almeida's experience can help them preserve their League status.


Must admit He did look strong in Training this morning.
