Scunthorpe last night admitted they have not given up their summer-long pursuit of Jimmy McNulty.
But Albion report no formal offers for either their left-back or James Tunnicliffe.
Both defenders were left out of Saturday’s 1-0 friendly win at Burgess Hill due to speculation over their future.
McNulty was on loan at Scunthorpe last season. Iron boss Nigel Adkins recently took Eddie Nolan, a versatile defender who can play on the left, on loan from Preston but he admits that does not mean he no longer needs a specialist left back.
Adkins said: “I would love to bring Jimmy McNulty here. There’s business going on behind the scenes to try to make things happen but we have to make sure it’s right for all parties concerned.”
Scunthorpe are unwilling to pay a large fee but hope they could pick up a relative bargain if they bide their time.
Competition for defensive berths at Albion will increase when Gordon Greer finally completes his switch from Swindon today.
Greer’s medical was delayed yesterday but paperwork is due to be completed this morning.
It is unclear whether Greer will play against Whitehawk tonight.
Diego Arismendi, who spent the end of last season with Albion, has joined Barnsley from Stoke City on a season-long loan. Albion boss Gus Poyet revealed in The Argus recently he was unlikely to take the Uruguayan midfielder back.
Meanwhile former Albion winger Seb Carole is looking for a club after plans to train with Albion fell through.
Carole, who is back home in Leeds, said: “I’m training on my own, doing some running, but it’s hard. I’m looking everywhere. It would be fantastic to stay in England but you never know.”
Ex-Seagulls defender Adam Virgo is still training with Yeovil in a bid to earn a contract.
