Torquay are closing considering a swoop for midfielder Joe Oastler. The 20-year-old was released by QPR in May but impressed during his loan spell at Plainmoor last season as Torquay lost to Stevenage in the League Two play-off final.
New Gull boss Martin Ling is still keen to hold onto Oastler.
"I've had a meeting with Joe and he is keen to join us," Ling told the club's website.
