TARGETS: League Two
Ahead of the January Transfer Window, NTT20 is scouting the talents who could make a splash higher up the pyramid.
Huw Davies: Ho ho ho, it’s transfer season! And we’re continuing our TARGETS series with a look at players in League Two.
Our criteria is this: if we were running a Championship or League One recruitment team and were tasked with adding some quality in January — not just for the short term, but the long term as well — then where would we send our scouts? Our half-dozen selections are all aged 25 or under (very under, in some cases), so buying clubs can have that sweet, sweet resale value, but as always we’re more excited by what these players offer on the pitch rather than on spreadsheets.
Ryan Deeney covered the National League for NTT20.COM last week and we’ll have League One ready for you on Friday. If you like what we do, consider buying some merch to tell the world. For now: enjoy our League Two TARGETS.
