AFC Telford target Godfrey Poku made available

AFC Telford United manager Liam Watson today reiterated his interest in landing Mansfield midfielder Godfrey Poku on loan after the Stags made him available.

The 22-year old, who has had two loan spells at Watson's former club Southport, appears to be on the periphery at Mansfield, who won promotion to League Two last month.

Stags boss Paul Cox confirmed that the player was available for a move away from the One Call Stadium either on loan or transfer.

And Watson said he remains a player of interest to Telford, although Poku is believed to be weighing up his options.

He said: "We said we would be interested in him and we still are. There have been conversations between me and Paul Cox, but at the moment he is waiting to see where his future lies."

Poku is one of a number of targets currently on Watson's radar.

The boss is hopeful of signing a new striker while he was also aiming to hold talks with Southport defender Chris Lynch.

Current Bucks midfielder and Lynch's former Southport team-mate Sean Clancy believes he would be a good addition.

He said: "He was really highly regarded by all the players and I think he is a good player."
