Scunthorpe trying to sign midfielder from LA Galaxy

[Chase]

Scunthorpe United manager Nigel Adkins has just been over to Los Angeles on holiday and naturally took his wife to watch an LA Galaxy game! He liked the look of a central midfielder and decided to contact the team to see about chances of taking him to Scunthorpe in January.

Adkins told the BBC: "I've made some good contacts with LA Galaxy and I watched a player out there.
"When their season finishes in January there might be a possibility of bringing him to England."

He added: "We're opening up avenues that can help Scunthorpe United Football Club.

"He'll have a British passport - he's an American guy married to an English girl so it's something to explore."

Adkins thinks he has just about enough players for next season so doesn't think they will be looking for any others just now. He has already signed winger Garry Thompson on a free transfer from Morecambe and that should be enough.

He said:"We're probably going to run with a squad of about 20 players this season and we've more or less got that as we stand at this time."
