Livingston striker Bruce Anderson could be set for a move to the Georgian top flight.
The 24-year-old has been given permission to discuss personal terms with Torpedo Kutaisi after the Lions accepted a 'decent' six-figure bid for the striker.
Kutaisi are managed by former Hibs academy director Steve Kean, who took charge earlier this year. They won last season's Georgian Cup and are set for a Europa Conference League first qualifying round clash with Sarajevo next week.
Speaking after tonight's 2-0 pre-season friendly win over Alloa Athletic, Livi boss David Martindale was full of praise for the striker, who has bagged 20 goals in his two seasons with the club and confirmed a bid had been accepted.
He commented: "Bruce has been given permission to talk to a club in Georgia. It was a decent six-figure offer to be honest. I thought he played really well - I dropped him back in and he played a different role in the second-half and he got his goal.
"He made a great run in behind and got his rewards with a goal."
Outside of the potential Anderson exit, Martindale admitted he's still looking to strengthen his squad before the competitive action gets underway next weekend.
He said: "We're still working away trying to bring guys in. I think we're still two or three short of where I want to be - but that's maybe more about having to move players on. I've got one seat left in the changing room and we need to bring definitely one more in and then it's a case of seeing what happens.
"In an ideal world there would be more than one coming in, but it's not an ideal world."
