Bassini initially identified former QPR boss Mark Warburton as a replacement for Lee Bowyer had a takeover been completed sooner but with time ticking on, the 59-year-old chose to take up a coaching role with West Ham United instead.
According to the report by the Mirror, his attention has now turned to former Coventry, Stoke and Watford midfielder Eustace, who has also recently left his post as assistant manager of QPR.
This news comes as current manager Bowyer finally returned to Wast Hills with the Blues squad yesterday having been absent for the first week back.
