Jepson: hoping to add two new faces

"We have had a few things going on and are talking about loans. Hopefully by this time tomorrow (Friday), we will have a goalkeeper from a Premiership club in place. He will give Kelvin Jack a bit of competition as he had a bang on his knee again last week at Bradford," Jepson told the official Gillingham website.

"I'm also having a look at a Striker at this moment in time. He's from a Championship club, has played there for a few seasons and knows what it's all about. There are one or two obstacles to clear but hopefully I will know more later today."

With goals in short supply and the injury sustained by Kelvin Jack, the need for both a striker and a goalkeeper is clear to see. Hopefully the club will be able to tie up the two deals before the weekend so both players can figure in this weekend's match with Northampton Town at Priestfield.
