Cardiff City's Omar Bogle is in talks to sign for ADO Den Haag until the end of the season.
Reports suggest that the Netherlands outfit, now managed by Alan Pardew, are hoping to tie up a loan deal that would see Bogle move to Holland until the end of the campaign.
Bogle has been out of favour at Cardiff City Stadium this season, playing just 383 minutes of football in all competitions for the Bluebirds.
Gary Madine's contract was terminated by mutual consent, and Isaac Vassell's season has been wrecked by injury, meaning Neil Harris is short of options up top.
Despite that, Bogle is reportedly close to joining Pardew in Holland. The former Newcastle United manager already has Sam Stubbs on loan from Middlesbrough, Tudor Baluta on loan from Brighton and winger George Thomas on a similar temporary arrangement from Leicester.
Former Ipswich Town defender Jordan Spence joined last week, too.
Bogle's exit - coupled with Cardiff's struggles in front of goal - would push further into focus Harris' need of striking reinforcements. Robert Glatzel and Danny Ward have been sharing the burden to date but there is a feeling the Bluebirds need more reliability in terms of a goal return.
Crystal Palace's Connor Wickham, Bristol Rovers' Jonson Clarke-Harris and Sheffield Wednesday's Jordan Rhodes have been linked with the club.
Harris once again reiterated his desire to bring in new faces before Friday night's deadline after the win over over West Brom on Tuesday night.
"I can go over old ground but I’d be majorly disappointed if no-one’s here in the building – in the group or in the building – when I get off the pitch on Friday night," he said.
Pressed on whether they were close to any signings, Harris added: “Maybe yesterday, maybe this morning, maybe tomorrow. Until we get somebody in – and we’re working on two signings, two areas of the pitch we want to improve – if we can get them, great.
"But let’s praise the players we have. We’ve got the makings of a great team. Two defeats in 16 – yes there have been a lot of draws in there but we showed today we can mix it with the best in the division.”
