ORIENT manager Martin Ling will hope to sign another one of his transfer targets after snapping up Ryan Jarvis from Norwich today.

The O's boss is now looking to fill the left wing spot, and is waiting to hear back from Livingston's Robert Snodgrass.

Ling has already had great success singing a player from the Scottish club, following Craig Easton's highly productive two year stint at Brisbane Road following his arrival in 2005.

Reflecting on the situation, Ling said: "We've had a package that could total £90,000 agreed with Livingston and spoken to the player.

"There is however a few clubs interested, because both Hartlepool and Crewe from our league are also in the running, while Dundee United and a team from germany also want him.

"So at the moment we are waiting to hear back from Robert, before things can move any further.

"He is a player a scout identified to us last season and Kevin Nugent went up and watched him as well.

"The only worry I have is that the lad might not want to come down as far as London, but hopefully he will see how well Craig Easton did at our place and maybe that might help a bit."

Snodgrass is a Scottish Under-21international and looks to want a challenge south of the boarder after five years at the Almondvale Stadium.
