Kilmarnock are plotting a move for right-back Ari Olsen to replace Stephen O'Donnell.
Scotland cap O'Donnell departed Rugby Park at the end of his contract after spending three years there as a player and Killie are now in the hunt for his replacement.
Olsen, of Víkingur Göta in his native Faroe Islands, fits the bill as an attacking full-back with a physical presence and an impressive long throw in his arsenal.
Olsen, 21, has also represented Faroes at under-21s level as well as under-19s and 17s. He is out of contract at the end of the upcoming season and Herald and Times Sport understands he would be available for free due to a clause in his contract.
Olsen can also double as a central defender.
He previously spent time on trial at Wolves in the English Premier League and is wanted by clubs around the country. It is believed Hamilton and St Mirren have also tracked the defender.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
