Looking to strengthen his squad - Southend United boss Kevin Maher (Image: FOCUS IMAGES)
SOUTHEND United are close to completing a loan deal for a striker, Echosport understands.
Blues boss Kevin Maher has been lacking in forward options ever since top scorer Harry Cardwell was forced onto the sidelines with a knee problem in November.
The Shrimpers have been forced into using defender Brooklyn Kabongolo as a makeshift forward but are now close to bolstering their attacking options ahead of Saturday's clash at Eastleigh.
The striker is believed to have already lined up in the National League this season.
Blues have already signed defender Adam Crowther and midfielder James Morton since their transfer embargo was lifted earlier this month.
