Oxford United Winger Stanley Mills Linked with Transfer
Oxford United's in-demand winger Stanley Mills is reportedly poised to join Preston North End, after being linked with several Championship clubs, including Portsmouth and Stoke City.
What happened?
The 22-year-old winger, who collected seven goal contributions for the U's last term, was believed to have been one of a host of Championship clubs keen on him during the window amid uncertainty over his Kassam Stadium future.
Why it matters for Oxford United
The news comes as a blow to the U's, who are still reeling from their relegation to League One last season. Mills' form alerted a number of clubs, and his stock is at a career high following an impressive campaign for the relegated Oxford.
What comes next?
Preston, who have already signed Alfie Devine from Spurs for £6m and Delano Burgzorg on loan from Middlesbrough, are wanting to complete the deal this summer as Paul Heckingbottom continues his attacking overhaul. Meanwhile, Portsmouth have landed prime target Abu Kamara in a £2.5m deal from Hull City, and are hoping to keep hold of Mills and other in-demand figures until the January market when their FA ban has been lifted.
Oxford United's League Standing
The U's are currently 22nd in the Championship, with 47 points from 46 games, and are 48 points behind leaders Coventry. They have scored 45 goals and conceded 59 this season, with a recent form of 1W-0D-2L (LWL).
