Reggina's Japanese midfielder, Shunsuke Nakamura, also remains a target for Strachan, who this month also had a ￡300,000 bid for Scotland midfielder Paul Hartley rejected by Hearts.

Southampton's versatile Paul Telfer and Aberdeen defender Alexander Diamond have also been linked with interest from Celtic Park.

Strachan appears to need convincing of Du Wei's qualities.

"I'd forgotten about him," he had said after being asked about the Chinese international. "Don't ask me his name."

Nakamura was a much more known quantity.

"Hopefully, by Thursday, we will have him and another," added Strachan.

"It would make it a lot easier on the squad.

"I am still on the outlook to bring in better players, but I might have to wait until the transfer window in January. Hopefully, we can accumulate some more money to invest again."

Strachan goes into Tuesday's friendly against Leicester City nervous of injuries as he believes that his squad is still short of numbers.
