Shelbourne winger Wesley Hoolahan looks set to leave Tolka Park for Scottish Premier League strugglers Livingston in the January transfer window.
Hoolahan is one of the most talented youngsters in the league and his exit would be a major blow to Shels, but after having an initial offer for the player rejected, Livingston returned with an improved bid which the Shelbourne board are now considering.
Manager Pat Fenlon said: “The situation is that we’ve made it clear to Wes that we don’t want him to go.
“He’s a smashing player and a big part of my plans here but unfortunately he has said that he wants to give British football another go and so that makes the situation difficult from our point of view.”
Hoolahan has just one year to run on his current contract and Livingston’s second offer, believed to be in the region of €225,000, could prove too much for the Dublin side to resist.
Meanwhile, Jason Byrne’s on-off move to Swedish side Djurgardens appears to be back on track, with the club confirming on their official website that they expect a deal to be agreed in the coming days.
