Slade has targetted the striker he wants to fire Town up the Football League and is hopeful a deal will be sewn up by the end of the week.
With hints dropped of explosive pace and a former Under 21 international, the rumourmill has been in overdrive. But Slade refuses to be drawn on the players name.
Slade is also hopeful on another striker, as well as three further players.
"We are looking to bring in another five players, two of these will be strikers. I have been tracking a striker for some time and will be speaking to him soon," he told MarinersNet.
Meanwhile Carlos Garrocho and Michael Warwick are further trialists to join Town this week.
