Wycombe Wanderers are reportedly interested in re-signing former striker Uche Ikpeazu from League One rivals Port Vale.
The Ugandan forward, who spent the 2020/21 season at Adams Park when the Chairboys were in the Championship, has scored one goal in 17 appearances for the Valiants after he re-joined the Staffordshire-based team in the autumn, following the termination of his contract at the Turkish side, Konyaspor.
However, if Wanderers want to secure the services of the 27-year-old, they will need to fend off competition from fellow third-tier club, Charlton Athletic, according to Sky Sports.

It’s not the first that the forward has been linked with a move back to Buckinghamshire, as he was reportedly increasingly close to signing a contract with Wycombe in the summer.
His trainer also teased via social media that a potential return was on the cards.
However, no transfer materialised and he opted to sign for Port Vale, where he had a brief spell during the 2015/16 season, where he scored six goals in 28 matches in all competitions.
'Nothing concrete' in terms of Uche Ikpeazu's potential exit from Port Vale as Wycombe remain interested.

This is the fourth consecutive transfer window that Ikpeazu has been linked with a move back to Wycombe.
He scored six goals in 33 matches during his only season at Adams Park.
