Lincoln City forward attracting Championship transfer interest

With just under a week to go before the transfer window slams shut, Lincoln City could be set for a hectic few days with Sky Sports (25/01, 14:43) reporting that Anthony Scully is being tracked by several Championship teams.

The forward has been in fine form for his current side this season, smashing in eight goals and four assists in League One despite playing just 19 games.

The 22-year-old certainly looks a bright talent and with him already performing well in the third tier, the potential is there to get even better a league higher.

It might take a fair fee to tempt him away from Lincoln, with the forward their current highest scorer in League One in what has been a shaky season for the club. Losing the player would be a huge blow to them midway through the season and they won’t want to get rid of him in a hurry.
