Dundee United have lined up another raid on a major Championship rival to boost their strike force for next season.
The Tangerines are already speaking to Dunfermline front man Nicky Clark.
And they also want Ross County’s Craig Curran in their front line.
The 28-year-old Englishman has been with the Staggies since 2015 but is out of contract this summer.
Despite their relegation from the top flight earlier this month, he still managed to hit the back of the net 10 times in 40 appearances over the course of the season.
Curran’s career kicked off with Tranmere Rovers and he went on to have spells with Carlisle, Rochdale, Limerick and Nuneaton before heading north of the border.
United, and city rivals Dundee, have missed out on wide man Michael Gardyne after he penned a new contract at County.
The 32-year-old had been eyeing the chance to move back to his native city after contact from both clubs, but after talks with co-managers Steven Ferguson and Stuart Kettlewell, has committed himself to another year in the Highlands.
Pars goal machine Clark remains very much on the Tannadice radar, as does his East End Park team-mate Fraser Aird.
United have also been speaking to Celtic kid Sam Wardrop and former Hamilton defender Ziggy Gordon.
