THE experienced striker Southend United are looking to sign is expected to train with the Shrimpers this week.

Blues have scored just six goals in 14 League Two outings so far this season.

And Mark Molesley is now keen to bolster his attacking options.

The striker in question has been without a club since the end of last season and will not be able to be registered by the Shrimpers until their transfer embargo is lifted.

Simeon Akinola – who signed in September - is still waiting to be officially registered by Blues.
