McAuley To Leicester?

29th December 2005

Leicester City are the latest club to be linked with Lincoln City defender Gareth McAuley.

It now seems certain that McAuley will leave Lincoln in January, as further attempts by Imps' boss Keith Alexander to begin talks with McAuley's agent over a new contract have stalled.

Earlier this month, Alexander publicly stated that McAuley's advisors are keen to play a wait and see tactic regarding contract talks. Alexander's response to this was to state that Lincoln will try and sell McAuley in January. With no contact forthcoming, it is becoming increasing likely that McAuley is playing his last few games for Lincoln City.

Other clubs linked to the Northern Ireland international are Doncaster Rovers, Crewe Alexandra, Huddersfield Town, Stoke City and Nottingham Forest. Of those clubs, it was reported in the Huddersfield area that Town scouted McAuley during Lincoln's 2-2 draw with Macclesfield.
