Pearce closing in on Thomert

With the transfer window now just a few days away from closing it is looking increasingly likely that Lens player Olivier Thomert will be joining the club.

Thomert himself is quoted as saying;

"I've agreed terms and am waiting on the clubs to finalise the deal. I just can't wait to play in the Premiership."

According to the MEN, Pearce is meeting the board this week to finalise the terms of the deal - believed to be an initial one year loan with the option of a permanent move next summer.
