Livorno president Aldo Spinelli has revealed they're close to sealing deals for two new strikers this week.

"We are extremely optimistic about the arrival of [Ciccio] Tavano from Valencia, by noon tomorrow we count on putting pen to paper for him," said Spinelli.

"We are close also to Stefano Floccari of Messina and are following Davide Matteini of Palermo and Fausto Rossini of Catania."
