Northampton's striker bid floundering

Davies has spent pre-season with the Cobblers, but Gorman may not be able to secure his services.

He said: "It's a dilemma. We're still trying hard to bring him in but Verona want a fee for him.

"I do know that other clubs are in for him, including some from a higher level than us, and that just shows the calibre of player we're after."
