Oxford United Weekly Round-Up: Transfer Rumours Begin
U’s to Battle for Charlton Left-Back
Oxford are one of five Championship clubs targeting Charlton Athletic left-back, Thierry Small, according to Football League World.
Preston, Blackburn, Derby and Millwall are all in for the former Everton and Southampton man, who is out of contract in the summer.
A left-back who can also play on the left side of midfield, his versatility has been key for the Addicks as they secured a playoff spot in League One.
He turned out 39 times this season, scoring two goals and adding three assists.
Oxford currently have three left backs, although 35-year-old Joe Bennett is out of contract next month. Greg Leigh has been a constant for the U’s this season while summer signing Jack Currie spent the campaign on loan at Leyton Orient.
Small’s contract with Charlton is due to expire next month and the Addicks are hoping to retain him in the event of promotion back to the second-tier
Oxford Keen on Lincoln Midfielder
Oxford are one of several clubs that are showing interest in Lincoln midfielder, Ethan Erhahon, according to EFL Analysis.
The 24-year-old, who has been a target for the U’s in the past, is also attracting interest from Derby and Millwall, while Preston and Plymouth, who also showed interest in January, are still believed to be keen.
Erhahon has been a key player for the Imps since his arrival from St Mirren two years, turning out over 100 times.
