Akinde says no, Zola now the target?

So it was John Akinde that the Cobblers were talking to yesterday but we’ve once again had to move on after the Bristol City striker couldn’t agree personal terms. Sammo has acted quickly though and is back on the hunt for a player that can’t be named but is pretty certain to be Calvin Zola after the clues given out by the club today.

Apparently the ‘man in question’ who is due in town for talks today was among the league’s top scorers last season, was interesting the club earlier this season and is being kept out of the first team at his current club due to the form of the first choice front pairing. To me that all points to Zola and we once again await news.

It’s all getting a bit “Murder She Wrote” with all these clues isn’t it! As long as we don’t sign Jessica Fletcher on a season long loan in desperation then I’ll be reasonably happy…
