| Motherwell close to Porter deal
Motherwell are set to sign Oldham striker Chris Porter, according to the English League One club's website.
The 23-year-old is soon to be out of contract at Boundary Park and had been approached by Dundee United.
But Tannadice boss Craig Levein dropped his interest in Porter after imposing a deadline for a potential deal.
Porter scored 22 goals last season but Motherwell will not have to pay any compensation due to the cross-border transfer regulations.
New Motherwell manager Mark McGhee made a forward his top signing priority, following the sale of Scott McDonald to Celtic at the end of last season.
The Fir Park club missed out on Craig Dargo, with the former Inverness striker opting to join St Mirren instead. |
