Unnamed League One clubs are eyeing a free agent move for midfielder Allan Campbell as the former Luton Town man looks set to leave St. Mirren.
The 27-year-old spent the last half of the season at the Paisley side, playing 15 times as they battled against relegation from the Scottish Premiership, which ended in survival after beating Partick Thistle in the promotion playoff.
Race Heats Up For Campbell
The one-time Scotland international has been somewhat of a nomad in his recent career, having played short stints for St. Mirren, Dundee United and a half-season loan at Charlton Athletic over the past two seasons.
Now, according to the Daily Record, multiple League One sides are considering moves for the versatile midfielder as he hits the free agent market, but face competition from clubs in Major League Soccer.
It is believed that the Buddies are keen on keeping Campbell in Renfrewshire beyond the end of this season, with the club still engaging in talks to find an agreement with their number 16.
Having played for Luton Town across two seasons in the Championship, Campbell became displaced following their promotion to the Premier League, instead being loaned out to Millwall and later Charlton before being released to move to Dundee United.
Which Clubs May Want Campbell?
Given he is an experienced and versatile midfielder, it is no wonder why some League One clubs are monitoring Allan Campbell’s contract situation at St. Mirren.
With only half a season of play in the Scottish Premiership, the 27-year-old was one of the better midfielders in the division for per-90 stats, scoring highly in tackles made and passing success rates.
His profile and stature could be of use to a few clubs in England’s third tier, including a few of the promoted sides as they aim to remain in the division going forward.
Bromley could be a good choice of destination, with the Ravens now in need of upgrading many parts of their squad to compete at a level they have never been at before.
Playoff winners Notts County should also be considering a move, having released Ollie Norburn and Campbell should do well as part of a full rebuild of the midfield following the end of Tom Iorpenda and Jayden Luker’s loans.
Bradford City will also be in the market for a holding player this summer, having seemingly lost club captain Max Power after just one season with the 32-year-old set to head back to Wigan Athletic.
Luton Town have been fishing in the market for a new option too, with fellow Scottish Premiership midfielder Dylan Tait touted with a switch prior to his move to Dundee United.
However, with Luca Connell also under consideration, Campbell may only be considered should they face rejection from the Barnsley captain.
