Swindon make O'Kane bid

Newly-promoted Swindon have begun their preparations for next season early by making a bid for Torquay's Eunan O'Kane.

The talented midfielder has been one of the stars of the campaign, playing a major part in the Gulls' march to the play-offs and was recently voted into the League Two team of the year. The Northern Ireland Under-21 moved to Plainmoor in 2010 and has since made over 100 appearances for the Devon side with his performances attracting interest from a number of higher level clubs. Swindon boss Paolo Di Canio has reportedly now made O'Kane his number one transfer target over the summer as he looks to build his squad ahead of next season but the 21-year-old is expected to come at price as the Gulls are thought to be reluctant to let their prize asset leave.
