PNE, Cardiff City, Fulham and Hull City all after Bristol Rovers star Billy Bodin

Bristol Rovers' goal scoring midfielder Billy Bodin is wanted by four Championship clubs, according to reports.


The Daily Mail is reporting Preston North End, Fulham, Hull City and Cardiff City are all in for Bodin who has been in stunning form for the Pirates at the start of the new season.

However a fee of just £250,000 is being touted as the starting price for the man who has scored five goals in six games for Rovers this season.

The piece by the Mail said Bodin is 'expected to leave the League One club before the [transfer] window closes,' naming Preston as front runners for his signature.

Bodin's good start to 2017/18 continues his great form in League One from last season, scoring 16 goals in his last 28 league appearances, with particularly hot form at the Memorial Stadium, scoring 12 in his last 14 home games.

The departure of Bodin would come as a massive blow to Darrell Clarke’s ambitions of Rovers improving on their 10th place finish in League One last season, especially with little time to be able to replace one of his key playmakers and goal threats.

Preston North End are likely leading contenders for his signature due to the uncertain future of striker Jordan Hugill who has today handed in a transfer request, although it has been rejected by the club.

A short statement from PNE said: “The club have rejected this transfer request and will not be selling him in this transfer window.”

Reading, Wolves, Birmingham City and Sunderland are said to be keen on landing Hugill.

The transfer window closes at 11pm on Thursday night.

We paid 250K for Joe Mason and that worked out well, so for that price it worth a punt, his old man was from Llanrumney, did he end up living on the wrong side of the 7 bridge ?

I take it he is also Welsh qualified.......maybe worth reminding Coleman if he is.
