Lincoln City boss Michael Appleton may be using the break from football to identify transfer targets for the summer. Here are five players he could try and sign-
George Thomas, Leicester City- Appleton will know the attacking midfielder from his spell as assistant manager of the Foxes. The former Coventry City man is currently on loan at Dutch side ADO Den Haag having spent time at Scunthorpe United last season.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Leicester City- He is another who the Imps boss might want from the King Power Stadium next term. The 21 year old is on loan at fellow League One side Blackpool at the moment and has impressed for the Tangerines.
Marvin Johnson, Middlesbrough- The left winger was a key player for Appleton at Oxford United a few years ago and earned a move to the Riverside Stadium. He is out of contract in June and is due to become a free agent as it stands. Will Lincoln try and sign him?
Jason Lowe, Bolton Wanderers- He is likely to leave the Trotters on a free transfer when/if this campaign finishes. The midfielder is an option for Lincoln and played for Appleton at Blackburn Rovers seven years ago.
Jake Wright, free agent- The centre-back is available after parting company with Sheffield United in January. He also played for Appleton at Oxford and spent the first half of this season on loan at Bolton Wanderers. The 34 year old would add more experience and depth to the Imps’ defensive options.
