TWTD understands that Town are close to agreeing terms with Southend for the loan signing of defender Bilel Mohsni, who we revealed had returned to Playford Road on trial yesterday.

The versatile French-Tunisian subsequently said he would be signing a three-month loan with the Blues today, but the clubs were still to agree terms regarding the switch, which is expected to be formalised into a permanent move in January when the transfer window reopens. Reports elsewhere claiming a deal has been completed are a touch premature.

If the 25-year-old puts pen to paper today, he is likely to be one of three new signings in the squad which takes on Cardiff City at Portman Road tomorrow, along with Richie Wellens, who signed on a month’s loan from Leicester yesterday, and DJ Campbell, who has now penned a three-month loan deal.

rayman_10 added 12:11 - Oct 5 Southend supporters rate his ABILITY. His attitude and behaviour is questionable but tbh, if he plays well I couldn't give a monkeys what he gets up too. Can play in loads of positions which can only be a good thing! COYB!

whistleblower added 12:50 - Oct 5 Is there a limit of loan players in match day squads / starting line ups? With these 3 and the current 3 surely we must be getting close?

pazelle added 13:52 - Oct 5 This is the signing I'm most excited about - certainly worth a punt and could become a fans' favourite! COYB! Not too bothered about Campbell and Mellis, Higginbotham seems like needed experience at the back and I hope that he and Mohsni can be signed permanently in January. Let's get off the bottom of the table!
