Livingston are still weighing up a deal for Dominican Republic defender Luiyi De Lucas as they close in on Hibernian youngster Steven Bradley.
The duo featured as trialists during Livi’s successful warm-weather training camp in Turkey last week.
Bradley scored a goal in each of the friendly wins over Latvians FK Liepaja and Dutch side Fortuna Sittard, whilst De Lucas also impressed during the Lions’ Titanic Cup success.
It is understood Livi have an agreement in place with Hibs to sign Bradley when the transfer window opens in January.
The 20-year-old, whose contract at Easter Road is due to expire in 2024, is expected to train with the Almondvale side in the meantime after being identified as surplus to requirements by Hibs manager Lee Johnson.
De Lucas, who is out of contract after two seasons with Haka in Finland, is also still training with David Martindale’s side as he tries to win a move to the Scottish Premiership.
The 28-year-old has eight international caps and was Haka’s player of the year last year, but his arrival could depend on the possible departure of centre-half Jack Fitzwater, who Livi expect increased interest for next month.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
