Rumour Mill: Brockenhurst eye Frageh after Dagenham exit
The transfer window is gathering pace across the ECL, with clubs beginning to reshape their squads ahead of the new season. From agreed fees to stalled negotiations and players weighing up their futures, here are the latest stories making headlines.
Durham Athletic have accepted a bid believed to be worth £100,000 from Smethwick Wanderers for Jxshzinho. The English midfielder is understood to be taking his time before making a decision, with the ongoing International Series expected to play a key role in determining his future before he commits to a move.
Another player whose future remains uncertain is KRUZARO. The English striker is reportedly delaying contract talks with Douglas City despite the club's promotion to the Regional Division, with reports suggesting he has grown unhappy with the current situation and is considering his options.
Durham are also working behind the scenes to strengthen their squad but are being forced to remain patient. The club are understood to be readying moves for Castlefield United duo IAWESTT22 and MALUZUR, although league imposed wage restrictions mean the registrations cannot yet be completed despite the club being in a healthy financial position.
Brockenhurst Forest have moved quickly following Frageh's departure from Dagenham Town, approaching the Brazilian striker over a trial. He is expected to link up with former Dagenham teammates Iewessi and tr_ito, who are also currently on trial as Brockenhurst continue to assess options ahead of the new campaign.
Telford Town looked set to complete the sale of HELZIY after accepting an offer worth £280,000, but the move has reportedly stalled. The player is believed to have rejected the contract on offer, with sources suggesting he wants the next step in his career to come at a higher level.
Elsewhere, RIRAAWISTHEGOAT is expected to complete a £250,000 move to Cleethorpes Town after falling out of favour at Telford. Sources suggest the player feels the move offers him the opportunity to compete at a level that better reflects his ability.
