Town are being linked with a loan move for Fulham midfielder Tayo Edun, who looks set to move on from Craven Cottage this summer. Edun, 20, was recently on trial with MLS outfit Portland Timbers and is now rumoured to be interesting League One clubs Barnsley and Shrewsbury, as well as Town.
The Islington-born youngster has had limited first team experience with the Cottagers, playing twice in the Caribao Cup last season and later clocking up two Championship appearances as Fulham headed towards promotion back to the Premier League.
He has represented England from U17 through to U20 levels and was in the U19 squad, alongside both Andre Dozzell and new loanee Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea, that triumphed in the European U19 Championship 12 months ago in Georgia, where he was named in the team of the tournament despite being sent off in the 2-1 final win over Portugal after collecting two yellow cards.
Edun, who is left-footed and can play in central midfield, left-back or in a wide midfield role, made his senior debut for Fulham almost two years in an EFL Cup win at Leyton Orient and also featured in his side’s subsequent ties in the same competition against Middlesbrough and Bristol City.
New Town boss Paul Hurst made no secret of his desire to recruit two wingers and has already brought in Jordan Roberts after he was released by Crawley, although the Blues would appear well covered in the centre of midfield.
Former Colchester wide man Kane Vincent-Young, who plays as a full-back, wing-back or wide midfield on either flank, is with the Town squad at their training camp in Spain.
