Dagenham & Redbridge boss John Still is expecting to complete a deal for Chelmsford City striker Rob Edmans this week,

The clubs have agreed a fee that could rise to five-figures with performance-related add-ons and the 24-year-old is expected to finalise the terms on a two-year deal before the weekend.

“Hopefully it can be tied up in the next few days,” said Still. “It’s just a case of dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s.”

Edmans scored five goals in 17 league appearances last season, as Chelmsford reached the Blue Square South Division play-offs.

However, the former Southend United triallist missed his side’s two-leg semi-final defeat to Ebbsfleet United with a broken leg sustained 17 minutes into a 3-1 victory over Hampton & Richmond Borough on the final day of the regular season.

However, it is hoped Edmans will be fit in time for Daggers opening match of the season away to Macclesfield Town on Saturday, August 6.
