Ukrainian defender Andriy Nesmachniy was due to start a trial period with Blackburn Rovers today.
The 27-year-old Dynamo Kiev player has been invited to spend a few days training at Brockhall.
If he impresses then he could seal a dream move to the Premiership in the January transfer window.
Manager Mark Hughes is also hoping to take a look at Olympiakos striker Yiannis Okkas at some point during the Christmas period.
