Toff’s tipped for Town as Imps manager reveals latest
LINCOLN City boss Michael Appleton has revealed more on Harry Toffolo’s situation amid growing interest from Town.

The Terriers are in need of another left-back and the 24-year-old Toffolo is well-known to Cowley, having been signed by him for the Imps in July 2018.

Appleton believes the player’s future will become clear before weekend.
“I’m sure over the next 24 hours we’ll know a little bit more,” said Appleton in his press conference yesterday.
