Dundee United hope to tie up influential defender William Edjenguele on a long-term deal.
The experienced Frenchman has been one of United’s most consistent performers this season since arriving in the summer.
The former Coventry City centre-back’s deal is up at the end of this campaign but United are working towards tying him up beyond that.
It is understood that an announcement may not be too far away.
United’s 14-game unbeaten run was built on strong defensive displays, with Edjenguele getting the best out of himself and others across the backline.
He has scored twice – against Hibs and Dumbarton.
