Wellington Phoenix
Wellington Phoenix are poised to sign up to four high calibre players within the next 10 days, coach Ricki Herbert says.
Under A-League rules, the Phoenix must sign at least three more players by August 1, and with contracts already under their noses, Herbert was talking up the quality of the transfer targets, who include a current All White.
"There's a South American player, an Asian player, an Australian player and a New Zealander," Herbert said, while ruling out nabbing Simon Elliott.
"Not for any other reason other than I think Simon's intentions are to stay abroad."
Herbert could not reveal names because the players were still employed by other clubs and the Phoenix were trying to negotiate the breakout clauses in their contracts.
"But rest assured, those four players are really key, those four players would arguably be in the starting XI. So, hopefully, you can see the intentions of the club and where we'd like to take it. The club's been very proactive in that area."
