Barnsley manager Simon Davey has revealed the Championship club are on the verge of landing Adam Hammill and O'Neil Thompson.

Liverpool midfielder Hammill impressed during a loan spell at Oakwell last season and looks set to return to the Tykes.

Jamaica international Thompson shone during pre-season at Barnsley and is poised to be unveiled, along with Hammill, in the next 48 hours.

Davey told The Star: "We've agreed a fee with Liverpool for Adam and agreed a deal to bring O'Neill into the club, they're both players I rate very highly.

"It's been really frustrating to sign players, but Adam will be a really good signing for us, he's young and got lots of years in front of him.
