League One latest: Former Portsmouth striker and prolific marksman up for sale as Celtic and Rangers miss out on one of division's hottest properties

Akinde’s available

Former Pompey striker John Akinde has been slapped on the transfer list by GIllingham.

The powerful former Blues hitman has been told he can leave Priestfield after the Gills announced their retained list.

The 31-year-old has shown himself to be one of the most dangerous strikers in lower-league football in recent years, despite having a torrid time at Fratton Park across 11 appearances in 2013.

Akinde scored 17 goals under Danny Cowley at Lincoln in the 2018-19 season and was a prolific finisher for Barnet, scoring 32, 26 and 24 goals in consecutive seasons for the Bees.

Steve Evans has put the front man up for sale, however, but has handed a new deal to former Pompey midfielder Stuart O’Keefe.

Connor Ogilvie, who has been linked with Pompey in the past, has turned down a new deal and will leave the Gills - as has dangerous front man Jordan Graham.
