Sources: Man United product Callum Dolan in advanced talks to join Fleetwood Town
Fleetwood Town are in advanced talks to sign Man United product Callum Dolan in January, sources have told Football Insider.
The 22-year-old attacker, who came through the academy ranks at Old Trafford, has caught the eye of Fleetwood after impressing at NPL Premier Division outfit Warrington Rylands.
Fleetwood boss Scott Brown is keen to boost his midfield options in January and the club are working on a deal to land Dolan.
Negotiations are progressing well and are said to have already reached the advanced stage.
Fleetwood are confident of securing a full agreement as soon as the January window opens.
Brown has given the green light to pursuing a deal for the former Blackburn Rovers A verand Oldham midfielder, and offering him a return to the Football League.
Dolan cut his teeth at United, where he was in their youth set-up before leaving the club to join Blackburn on a free transfer in 2017.
A versatile attacker who can play on both flanks as well as behind the striker, Dolan has a colourful history.
His Oldham contract was terminated in September 2019 after he was sentenced to eight months in a young offenders institution following a 98mph police chase on the M60.
But he has rebuilt his career in non-league football and is now closing in on a move to the English third tier.
Fleetwood are 17th in League One after 19 matches of the season, with just four wins so far and 22 points in total.
They return to action with a trip to Ipswich Town on Friday night.
