Jenkins, who has been very outspoken throughout the summer on a number of transfer issues, had previously claimed that he hoped the midfielder would sign "within 24 hours" on Thursday. However, it was soon revealed that the two clubs only agreed a fee of around £90k on Friday morning, leaving Jenkins hoping to complete the deal by today "at the latest".
Nevertheless, it appears that a deal for the club's long running primary target is nearing it's conclusion after six months of speculation.
