Skiverton revealed that he had been keen on bringing Eastmond to Huish Park several years ago from Arsenal at the same time he drafted in Luke Ayling.

“Craig has been training with us and we’ll have a chat with him and look to do something,” said Skiverton.

The Yeovil boss also indicated that there was another unnamed player with Championship experience “mulling over an offer” from the club, while he was also looking at bringing in a couple of loans.

“There has been lots of activity going on,” he said.

Eastmond made ten first team appearances for Arsenal between 2009 and 2013 in the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League.

He had three loan spells at Millwall, Wycombe Wanderers and Colchester United before signing for Colchester on a permanent basis in 2013.
