Jordan Maguire-Drew, who was released by Leyton Orient earlier this summer, is now wanted by Southend United.
Kenny Jackett is leading a rebuild at Brisbane Road this summer as he looks to prepare this side for the 2021/22 campaign.
So far, Leyton Orient have brought in five new players, while a whole host have been offloaded. One of those to depart at the end of their deal is winger Jordan Maguire-Drew.
Now, it has been claimed that the former Orient winger is attracting interest from the National League.

As per a report from Echo News, Southend United are looking to secure a deal for Maguire-Drew this summer.
The 23-year-old is available for nothing following his departure, making him a shrewd acquisition for the National League side.
The report states that Southend new boy Josh Coulson, who also left Leyton Orient at the end of his contract, recommended his former teammate to manager Phil Brown, so it will be interesting to see if the rumours materialise into anything more serious.
