But the Dane admits he's unlikely to get deals done in time for tomorrow's trip to face Hearts at Tynecastle.

Well have brought former St Johnstone striker Callum Hendry in on a two-year deal from MK Dons and forward Esapa Osong on loan from Nottingham Forest.

But Askou isn’t finished and said: “There are more things in the pipeline.

“When we can make it official, it's up to how fast we can finalise the last bit.

“But we are moving in on things. It takes a bit of time with all the paperwork.
