Jim Jefferies tonight revealed that he's moving closer to the addition of another striker following the recruitment of Kevin Kyle earlier in the summer.

The Hearts manager has been working away feverishly at trying to add a fresh face to the Gorgie squad.

And JJ admitted he might yet be able to add the forward to his pool in time for this weekend's game against Blackburn.

"We've got some enquiries going on at the moment for a couple of players that we are getting a wee bit closer too, especially maybe on the striking front," he told Hearts.TV tonight after tonight's friendly defeat to Wolves.

"We are hoping it will go our way in the next 48 hours and that we might have a wee chance of something for Saturday but if we don't we'll keep working for the St Johnstone."

When asked if he could give any clues the manager grinned: "I can't because I don't want to alert any other clubs!"

The manager, who was pleased with the work-out against strong opposition in Wolves, has also confirmed that Adrian Mrowiec is likely to be handed a deal at Tynecastle.

And Jim also confirmed that David Obua could now be a doubt for the start of the season after picking up a groin injury which is a little more serious that feared.

He also confirmed that Kevin Kyle is still a couple of weeks away from action and could miss the first game of the season.
