SOUTHEND United remain in transfer talks with a target Shrimpers boss Phil Brown believes would ‘raise eyebrows’ at Roots Hall.
Blues met with the potential signing - who is believed to be a striker who played in League One last season - over the weekend.
And Brown remains hopeful a deal can soon be completed as Southend continue to prepare for the forthcoming National League season.
“Talks went well but that’s as much as I can say,” said Brown.
“We aren’t at first base, we’re probably at second or third base by now and I’m hopeful it can happen.
“It’s one that will raise a few eyebrows.”
