It's certainly a big possibility. Can we find buyers for these for a fee the club will accept (historically No!) I can't see how we can afford to keep more than a couple on, hopefully relegated wages Faes Okoli Mavididi Fatawu Vieites Decordova Reid Souttar Kristiansen Choudhury Skipp Vestergaard Thomas

https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/blackburn-leicester-oxford-portsmouth-set-to-tussle-for-bamba-dieng-lorient/ Blackburn, Leicester, Oxford & Portsmouth set to tussle for 15-goal striker Bamba Dieng Ian King Published Apr 25, 2026, 10:26 AM GMT+1 Four Championship clubs have been linked to striker Bamba Dieng, whose CV includes a season at Marseille and one of international football's biggest prizes. Thoughts among these clubs will already be turning to summer reinforcements. Whether a club is looking to regain their place in the Championship or improve upon this year's final position, it promises to be a busy summer in the transfer market. And now no fewer than four clubs who have been involved in this relegation race have all been linked with a move for an international striker who's played for one of France's biggest club sides. Four English clubs and one German club named in the race for Bamba Dieng Bamba Dieng Posting to the social media platform X, journalist Pete O'Rourke has claimed that Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City, Oxford United and Portsmouth could be set to tussle for the Senegalese international Bamba Dieng, who is currently playing in Ligue 1 for Lorient. O'Rourke also confirms that they could be joined in this race by the German side St Pauli. Does Bamba Dieng sound like a player worth making a move for? Let us know in the comments below! Dieng's contract is understood to expire this summer, meaning that he is available on a free transfer. He has been a regular in the Lorient team since breaking through with them in November, scoring an impressive 15 goals in 22 appearances for them in all competitions. Lorient are mid-table in Ligue 1, with four games of their season left to play. The 26-year-old is an established Ligue 1 forward, who has also played for Marseille and Angers. In addition to this, he also has 26 caps for the Senegal international team and has scored six goals for them. He was part of their team which won the African Cup of Nations in 2021. Bamba Dieng has a strong record at both club and international level - is a Championship move calling? Bamba Dieng's club career has so far been played entirely in France, after being spotted by the giants Marseille while playing for Diambar in the Senegalese Premier League. He signed for the club in 2020 on a loan-to-buy deal and broke into their first team in February 2021, scoring on his debut for them in a Coupe de France match against Auxerre. The 2021-22 season saw him make 36 appearances for Marseille in all competitions, scoring eight goals. This included 25 appearances in Ligue Un and five in the Europa Conference League. He signed a two-and-a-half year contract with Lorient in January 2023 for £6m plus £2.5 million in add-ons, but spent the 2024-25 season on loan with Angers after Lorient were relegated, for whom he scored five goals in twenty appearances. Returning to Lorient after they were promoted back at the first attempt, he has settled into a regular first-team place this season. His international career is equally impressive. He made his international debut for Senegal in October 2021 and was called up for AFCON 2021, which was held in January 2022. He scored his first international goal for them in their 2-0 Round of 16 win against Cape Verde, and also scored in the penalty shootout which won them the tournament against Egypt. With such a pedigree, it's not surprising that there will be a lot of competition to lure the forward to England, and interest may not be limited to these four clubs alone.

Leicester City eye League One hotshot striker but face battle with Championship clubs Lorent Tolaj, who has scored 20 goals for Plymouth this season, is a reported transfer target for Leicester City© Lindsey Parnaby/Shutterstock Leicester City will rival Championship clubs for the signature of Plymouth striker Lorent Tolaj, according to reports. A new striker is set to be City’s summer transfer priority and the Sun’s Alan Nixon reports that they’re looking for a proven forward to fire them out of League One at the first attempt. Swiss striker Tolaj could be that man after another impressive season. He’s scored 20 goals in 34 games in all competitions since joining Plymouth last August, and sits fourth in the League One scoring charts. Leicester City man has 'big admirers' as Championship clubs begin to circle Leicester City transfer window will bring 'natural refresh' as squad exodus expected But that form, and his rise through the ranks, has caught the attention of Championship clubs, with Sheffield United and Preston also said to be on the 24-year-old’s trail. Celtic have been linked previously too. Earlier this week, Plymouth manager and former City loanee Tom Cleverley said Tolaj would “cost a lot of money” for any sides keen on him this summer. “Neither mine or (director of football) Derek Adams' phone has received any calls,” Cleverley told BBC Radio Devon when asked about interest in Tolaj. “But I'd imagine agents are doing their thing in the background. “Tolly hasn't expressed anything about wanting to leave the football club and I think you can see by his work-rate and competitive spirit more than anything, before you talk about the goals, how much he loves playing for Argyle. “Obviously, he's one of our best players, he will attract some interest and inquiries. Every team in the country would love a striker that can turn a draw into a win in the blink of an eye and those do cost a lot of money.” Tolaj moved from Switzerland to join Brighton as a 16-year-old, but did not make the breakthrough there, and didn’t hit it off during a series of loan spells either. It was only when he moved to Aldershot in the National League on a permanent deal did he start scoring regularly, with 25 goals there earning him a move to Port Vale. He scored 15 for Vale to help them to League Two promotion last season and that earned him the switch to Plymouth, where his goalscoring has not stopped.

They're currently playing an important PL2 play off game v Spurs currently 1-0 if anything Page and Monga should be there not on our bench in miserable night at KP

I think he said he managed them for 4 years 2019 - 23 according to Wiki

Monga & Page could be playing for the U21s in their playoff game against Spurs. Not sure if Aluka is eligible.

Unfortunately the U21s have an important playoff game against Spurs currently 0-0 after 10 mins

It's way too late for redemption or atonement.

One of the smells gone.
