Brighton & Hove Albion boss Gus Poyet is waiting to hear whether an attempt to re-sign Newcastle United winger Kazenga LuaLua has been successful.
But he just follows on from the likes of Norwich City ... who gave up the ghost trying to re-sign Fraser Forster on loan ... after waiting two months for an answer.
Burnley and Preston have also asked about Forster, but Hughton is keeping his cards close to his chest.
Lua Lua impressed during a loan spell at Brighton last season, making 11 appearances for the League One club.
Poyet: "We have had no more news of Kazenga LuaLua yet.
"We would like to know either way, but we have heard absolutely nothing. It's out of our hands so we will have to keep waiting.
"I would like to see a minimum of three players come in, maybe four, but it's all day, every day that we are working on signing the players, so we will have to wait and see."
