Hide AdOne name linked with a Hillsborough switch is former Swindon Town centre-half Akin Odimayo, who impressed despite the Robins’ relegation from the third tier last season.
The 21-year-old is a free agent having left the troubled County Ground side last month and has a number of suitors including Derby County and Portsmouth.
Reports from the South Coast have revealed that Odimayo is currently training with Pompey as Danny Cowley takes a closer look at him. Suggestions that he is close to agreeing a deal with Wednesday’s League One rivals appear to be wide of the mark, however.
Odimayo was offered a contract by Swindon, with his age meaning a fee would likely have to be paid by any new club so long as that contract offer was worth more than the one he was on previously.
