STUART McCALL has revealed he hopes to complete the signing of Faroese international goalkeeper Gunnar Nielsen within the next 24 hours.
The 26-year-old is a free agent after leaving Danish club Silkeborg IF and McCall is hopeful he will be able to unveil the former Blackburn Rovers keeper in time to allow him to join Well in the departures lounge for their Spanish training camp on Monday.
It will be Nielsen's second spell at Fir Park following a five month loan spell, from August 2008 to December 2008, when he returned to Ewood Park.
The Steelmen gaffer said: "Following Darren Randolph's departure for Birmingham we have been keen to get an experienced top quality goalkeeper in and I believe Gunnar Nielsen ticks all these boxes.
"I am very hopeful that we will be able to sign him up within the next 24 hours and that hopefully he can join us in Spain.
"But Gunnar will face a fight for the gloves with Lee Hollis and I am sure they will both benefit from the competition for the No.1 slot."
Meanwhile, Motherwell will take on Doncaster Rovers in a pre-season friendly at the Keepmoat Stadium, on Saturday, July 13, in a 3pm kick-off.
