Kilmarnock are close to securing centre-back Zech Medley on loan.
The 6ft 5in Arsenal defender is set to sign with the Ayrshire club in a deal until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old came through the Chelsea youth academy before joining Arsenal in 2016.
He played for the Gunners' first team when he came on as a substitute in the Europa League in 2018.
He joined English League One outfit Gillingham on loan at the beginning of the season but now the London side want him to play at a higher level.
Kilmarnock parted company with their manager Alex Dyer on Saturday – but head of football operations James Fowler has made it clear he is still working hard to bring in fresh faces ahead of the midnight deadline.
Forward Connor Shields, who is currently starring at Championship side Queen of the South, is also on the radar of the Rugby Park outfit.
Meanwhile, Killie will begin their new era after Dyer tomorrow night with a Premiership showdown at home to Celtic.
Fowler, assistant manager Andy Millen and captain Gary Dicker will oversee the game.
