Midfielder Wanted:

Mansfield Town midfielder Giles Coke is set to be a January transfer target for Championship side Southampton

The highly-rated 19-year-old has already attracted the interest of a number of clubs over the first half of the campaign, with Sheffield United, Norwich City and Watford all reportedly keeping tabs on him.

Stags boss Peter Shirtliff has already expressed his desire to keep hold of Coke, who only joined them from non-league Kingstonian in March, when the transfer window opens next month.

Mansfield are still a little too close to the League Two drop zone for comfort and will need Coke to ensure they pull further clear of the bottom two places, while they face Premiership Newcastle in the FA Cup third round on January 7
