Motherwell are still trying to push through the return of Louis Moult.

Manager Steven Hammell confirmed they were still trying to get another transfer deal done but would not give details.

However, it is understood they are seeking confirmation over whether a loan deal for Moult to return to Fir Park from Burton until January can be ratified.

When asked about any potential late deals at his pre-match media conference ahead of Saturday's cinch Premiership clash with Dundee United, Hammell said: "We tried to get some stuff done into the early hours but that didn't quite happen but we still have some options we can explore.

"We are still looking at something and we are hoping to do something."

Moult originally signed for the Steelmen in 2015.

He scored 38 goals in 84 league games and helped the team to the League Cup final in 2017, scoring both goals against Rangers in the famous semi-final victory.

Moult was then sold to Preston North End that January for an undisclosed fee but suffered a serious injury.

He moved to Burton Albion in 2021 but only scored one league goal for the club.
