Motherwell manager Mark McGhee has not given up hope of signing Stephen Hughes, inspite of Leicester accepting a £50,000 offer from Hearts for the midfielder.

"We are still in talks with Stephen Hughes' agent to attempt to sort something out there," McGhee informed Well's website ahead of a pre season trip to Austria.

McGhee is also interested in signing Celtic's Adam Virgo on loan.

But he mentioned that nothing was likely to happen until Celtic return from their pre season camp in Switzerland.

McGhee is also looking elsewhere for new recruits as he expects other clubs to outbid Motherwell for Hughes, who has yet to agree personal terms with Hearts.

"We will have 3 Polish trialists with us and possibly one or 2 others," mentioned McGhee, who is advancing his plans to recruit from German football.

"I will also have a day with Felix Magathe and watching his Wolfsburg side train. I was invited along to watch and I am sure that Felix would not waste my time if there is not anybody there he felt would help us."

Meanwhile, Well's U19 goalkeeper, Alan Martin, has gone on trial with Leeds United.

Previous Motherwell manager Maurice Malpas had expects Martin to join Rangers, who had inquired about what compensation the Fir Park club would demand, during the summer.

McGhee confirm Martin had not signed a new contract and was allowed to travel to Elland Road.

"We feel this makes sense as we do not want anyone at the club who does not want to play for us," he said.
