“I’m working on it,” Trengove said on AFL Trade Radio.

“He’s in a unique situation where he has to make a decision and I can’t make it for him.

“It’s sort of an awkward position that I’m in, obviously I’d love for him to play with me again.

“I’d love to make it for him and I know where he’d end up if I was making it, but he’ll make his decision in the coming weeks and he’ll make the right decision for what’s best for him.”

Impey is under contract at the Power until the end of 2018, but both the Dogs and Hawthorn have been mentioned as potential trade suitors for the 177cm livewire.

Bulldogs list manager Jason McCartney said the club had kept an eye on Impey.

“Jackson does have a pretty good relationship with Jarman Impey,” McCartney said.

“Jarman is a player that’s in contract.

“We like Jarman, we’ve tracked him pretty closely this year, but being contracted, there is a lot to play out there.

“Some other clubs are interested, we’d like to be able to do something there, but being in contract, there is a fair bit of water to go under the bridge there.”

Trengove opened up on the pair’s dinner date with Western Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli, which was snapped by a Twitter user.

“Bont’s a great bloke, he did pick up the bill, which was terrific,” Trengove said of the meal.

“We just caught up for a beer and some dinner, it was actually Grand Final weekend so we had some stuff on down in Melbourne.

“It’s quite funny how a photo gets taken and everyone reads into it a bit too much.

“Jarman is the same age bracket as Bont and knew him previously.

“You can’t go anywhere without a photo taken these days.”

The Shepparton product has played 75 games with the Power across four seasons and is reportedly keen to return home this summer.
