Fellow third-tier rivals, Portsmouth, are also allegedly interested in the defender.

If he were to join Gareth Ainsworth’s side, he will provide competition with Ryan Tafazolli, Alfie Mawson, Chris Forino and Jack Wakely as the club’s first-choice centre backs.

Additionally, Jack Grimmer, who is predominantly a right-back, has also enjoyed a spell this season playing in the right-hand side of the defence.
