Colchester to unveil Sheringham
Sheringham spent the last three seasons with West Ham
Colchester United have called a news conference for 1430 BST on Wednesday at which they are expected to unveil ex-England striker Teddy Sheringham.
The 41-year-old is a free agent after leaving West Ham United, and BBC Essex understands that he is set to join the Championship club as player-coach.
Chairman Peter Heard revealed earlier that the U's had held talks with Sheringham over a move to Layer Road.
They have been without an assistant manager since Mick Harford joined QPR.
Sheringham, who has scored 273 league goals in 715 appearances for seven clubs, was awarded an MBE in the recent Queen's Biirthday Honours list.
More recently, his agent Barry Neville had quashed reports linking him with a move to League One side Bournemouth.
He said the striker had held talks with teams in the United States of America and other countries.
