Gillingham boss Andy Hessenthaler takes a look at West Ham United's Oliver Lee as the transfer deadline looms

Gillingham manager Andy
Hessenthaler is hoping to bring at least one new face to
Priestfield on Tuesday.
But it is unlikely to be a busy day
at Priestfield as the transfer deadline for permanent deals closes
at 11pm.
"I don’t think there will be a lot
of action," said the Gills boss (pictured) when quizzed on the
likelihood of new arrivals.
Teams will be able to loan players
again as from next week but deals for senior players will then be
restricted to a maximum of 93-day deals.
Hessenthaler said: "There might be
a possibility we could bring someone in, we’ll have to wait and
see."
The Gills currently have 30
professionals on their books so Hessenthaler is aware he already
has plenty of options at his disposal as he attempts to end the
current slump.
He said: " I have had a chat with
the chairman and we have the bodies in here and we have the numbers
but it’s just a case of picking the right numbers. I think if there
is a possibility to add a fresh face then it never hurts."
Hessenthaler is taking a look at
West Ham’s young midfielder Oliver Lee, who has been on loan at
Dagenham already this season. The 20-year-old is the son of former
England player Rob Lee and was recently on trial at Derby.
