The 26-year-old has entered the final year of his contract at Fleetwood and would be able to leave on a free next summer.

Fleetwood are expecting offers for Graydon before the end of the window, with a number of interested clubs circling.

Last season, the Irishman started 33 games in League Two for the Fishermen, scoring nine goals as well as picking up seven assists.

Graydon joined Fleetwood from League of Ireland side Derry City back in the summer of 2023, but suffered relegation from League One during his first campaign at the club.

The 2024/25 campaign was slightly more successful for the forward on a personal note, as he impressed in the fourth tier.

Now, a number of sides are looking to give Graydon another chance in League One, with Wigan, Lincoln, Plymouth, and Rotherham all wanting to add attacking talent to their ranks before the window closes.

Meanwhile, Football Insider exclusively revealed that Leicester City and Norwich City are racing to sign Ukrainian midfielder Yegor Tverdokhlib.

German club Augsburg and Turkish side Eyupspor are also weighing up moves for the 24-year-old before the close of the transfer window.

Tverdokhlib was one of the most productive attacking midfielders in Europe last season with 14 goals and two assists in just 24 Ukraine Premier Liga games for Kryvbas.

The 24-year-old is an even more attractive option for his suitors as he could be available for a relatively low fee in the next two weeks.
