Dundee United manager Craig Levein will talk to Australian midfielder James Wesolowski about making his stay at Tannadice permanent.Levein confirmed the move on the same day he revealed Wesolowski, 21, will miss the rest of the season after tearing a hamstring in the weekend's league fixture against Hibs.
Wesolowski, who was on loan at Dundee United from English League One champions Leicester City, will head back to England to have treatment on the injury.
The injury-cursed Australian had been enjoying a good spell of first-team football with the Tangerines having joined the Scottish club on loan in the January transfer window.
Nevertheless it seems he may have done enough to impress Levein, who he previously worked with when the Scottish gaffer managed the Foxes.
Levein told Scottish newspaper The Press and Journal: "Considering James wasn't fit and had been out for so long with injury I think he did a really good job for us.
"His fitness gradually got better and he was having more influence on games. Hopefully, we'll see him back again next season if we can do a deal with Leicester."
The Dundee United manager also revealed the club have first refusal on the young Australian.
"We've got an option on him, so I'll speak to his club and see what happens from there," Levein added.
Wesolowski, who was involved with the Socceroos back in November 2007 for a friendly against Nigeria, is contracted with the Foxes until 2011.
