A look at some of the latest news and gossip from around Wanderers’ division…

Striker attracting interest

Plymouth are working on a deal to sign St Mirren forward Owen Oseni, according to the Scottish Sun.

The 22-year-old joined the Buddies from Gateshead in January after a prolific first half of the season in the National League, scoring 13 goals.

Plymouth are preparing for life back in League One and confirmed the appointment of Tom Cleverley earlier this month following Miron Muslic’s move to Schalke.

Royals bolster goalkeeping ranks

Reading have signed goalkeeper Jack Stevens on a two-year deal following the end of his deal at Cambridge.

Stevens played in League One for the U’s and also has experience of the third tier from his stints at Oxford and Port Vale.

"We're delighted to sign a keeper of Jack's stature and calibre to the club," Noel Hunt told the club site. “He is exactly the type of character we want around the dressing room and I'm really looking forward to working with him."

Posh bring in midfielder

Peterborough have confirmed the signing of Brandon Khela from Birmingham with the midfielder penning a four-year deal at London Road.

Posh have paid an undisclosed fee for the 20-year-old, who spent the second half of last term on loan at Bradford as the Bantams clinched promotion from League Two.

"It is a big signing, we have really pushed and pushed. We have managed to keep it under the radar for quite a while and now we can really look forward to working with him," said Darren Ferguson.

Options for highly-rated winger

Kwame Poku reportedly has offers in the Championship as the youngster approaches the end of his Peterborough deal.

The 23-year-old winger scored 12 goals in 31 appearances last season including a hat trick against Cambridge.

Poku is set to become a free agent but Posh are entitled to a compensation fee due to his age.

Seasiders land ex-Millwall man

Blackpool have bolstered their midfield department with the addition of George Honeyman following his Millwall departure.

The 30-year-old spent the past three seasons at The Den, racking up more than 100 appearances for the London outfit.

“He brings a tremendous amount of experience to the squad, both in League One and the Championship, and we feel he can play a vital role for us,” Steve Bruce told the club site.

Tykes eye free agent

Barnsley are interested in Josh Koroma after the expiry of his Huddersfield deal, according to BBC Sheffield's Adam Oxley.

The winger scored 12 goals in 40 games for the Terriers last season as they finished 14 points off the play-offs.

Barnsley face competition from “several other clubs” to land his signature ahead of the upcoming campaign.
