"Beattie to me fits the bill for us. If we can't get him we go without," O'Leary O'Leary told the clubs official website, www.avfc.co.uk
"We don't want to wait but if we had to take the Beattie interest through to January, we'd look at that.
"All I can say is that I think there's a player that definitely wants to join us. He has an opportunity to join a few people, but I think he sees the way we play is good for strikers and that he'll get a few goals,"
