PAUL Reid, the Aussie midfielder on trial at the Reebok, could have what it takes to secure a permanent switch.

Sam Allardyce and his coaches have been impressed by the 22-year-old Woollangong Wolves star and are understood to be exploring the possibility of taking him on board.

Wanderers and Spurs, who meet again in the quarter-finals of the Worthington Cup at White Hart Lane next Tuesday, have been drawn together in the fourth round of the AXA-sponsored FA Youth Cup.

A date for the Reebok tie has still to be arranged.
