Town are reported to be one of a number of clubs eyeing Wigan Athletic winger Joe Dodoo.

According to, Football Insider, the Blues, Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham are among several sides keen on the 25-year-old, who is out of contract this summer although with the Latics set to offer him a deal having scored four and assisted three in 11 League One starts and eight substitute appearances since signing in February.

Born in Kusami, Ghana, Dodoo came through the youth system at Leicester where he scored a hat-trick on his senior debut, a 4-1 Capital One Cup win at Bury in August 2015.

In total he made three starts and one sub appearances for the Foxes, adding one more to his goals total, before joining Rangers for £250,000 in the summer of 2016, after spending a short spell on loan at Bury the previous season and also having won one England U18s cap.

After failing to establish himself in the Rangers side, Dodoo, who is right-footed but tends to play on the left, moved to Charlton and then Blackpool on loan. Having been released by the Gers he joined Bolton on a free transfer in October 2019.

"In the summer of 2020 he moved to Turkish side Ankara Keçiörengücü on a two-year deal, but left in January and returned to the UK and signed for Wigan in the following month.

brendenward35 added 12:04 - May 4 We need to be realistic unless we sell a lot of season tickets we will be shopping in poundland. Owners have already said we have to stick with the FFP rules. Can't spend what we haven't got in revenue. Might have new owners with money but they can only support the club financially to a certain amount.

janeb123 added 12:13 - May 4 i had a look at the financial rules. i may have misinterpreted the rules, however i read it that you can spend as much money as you want on fees but the wages have to be 69% of income. apologies if i have misread this, maybe others can take a look?

Marinersnose added 12:33 - May 4 I will trust Cook has a plan as to which players he wants to recruit. Dodoo appears to have flitted around a fair bit and his stats aren't overly impressive. We don't want to be going down the Hurst route of recruiting the like of Jackson Nsiala Donacien etc as it is clear that these players are unable to make the step up. Cook will keep his cards close to his chest. Exciting times ahead I believe without Dads Army which will be a huge positive

KernewekBlue added 17:49 - May 4 Too much of a journeyman at the tender age of 25? Why didn't he get to stick around a bit longer at one of those many clubs he's already signed for previously? Sounds like far too much of a gamble given those stats. Can't we widen the net a little, say, into Europe at least or possibly South America to hunt for some decent, undiscovered talent? We certainly DON'T need another Kayden Jackson in the squad!
