Stefan Scougall is wanted as Danny Swanson’s replacement at St Johnstone after his departure from Sheffield United, the Scottish Sun reports.
The report claims Scougall attended the Perth side’s 1-0 win over Partick Thistle on Saturday, which sealed their place in next season’s Europa League qualifying rounds.
St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright is said to have wanted the Edinburgh-born midfielder previously, and is finally clear to sign him after his release by the Blades earlier this month.
Scougall was signed by former Bramall Lane boss Nigel Clough in January 2014, but fell out of favour under recent managers Nigel Adkins and Chris Wilder.
Nevertheless, the former Livingston player, 24, managed an impressive four goals from six starts in this season’s League One campaign, which Sheffield United ended as champions.

Swanson, who has scored or made 17 goals in 27 Premiership outings this term, is off to Hibernian this summer having signed a pre-contract agreement last month.
Were Sheffield United right to release Scougall?
