Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian Laws has made an improved bid for Port Vale striker Akpo Sodje - and also hopes to sign Sodje's brother Sam from Reading. The proposed deal for Akpo Sodje, 27, could see an Owls player join Vale - while the move for defender Sam Sodje, 28, has been ongoing for a while.
"We're awaiting Vale's response to our bid," Laws told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"I spoke to (Royals boss) Steve Coppell over the weekend, and we've sorted some issues that will allow Sam to join us."
Laws hopes the deal for Sam Sodje, for which a fee was agreed last week, could go through within 24 hours.
He revealed last week that he had made offers for an unnamed striker, as well as a foreign midfielder.
"Akpo was a real handful against us in pre-season," Laws added.
"Maybe that's what we're missing at the moment - someone who can be a real physical presence for us.
"We're waiting for Vale's response, but we can't increase the bid any further."
