AFC Wimbledon Defender Set To Stay, But Striker Could Be On The Move
AFC Wimbledon’s left defender Jack Currie appears to be staying with the club this summer, which is great news for the South London team. However, striker Ali Al-Hamadi may still attract late attention.
Jack Currie staying
Currie, who made his debut in the first game of the season and scored against Gillingham in a 2-0 win, is currently in the final year of his present contract. He has yet to play this season due to an injury sustained during preseason, but he has returned to light training.
The club rejected down proposals from Bristol City during the January transfer window, but with the door closed and the Dons’ play deteriorating in the second part of the season, interest has cooled significantly, especially since he has been injured. The 21-year-old defender has been a fan favourite since coming through the club’s superb Academy system, which has produced some true jewels in recent years. Some grads participated in the team’s defeat at Chelsea on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup. Morgan Williams gained his full debut at Stamford Bridge and gained rave reviews for his solid showing as he took over duties for the injured Jake Reeves in the heart of midfield.
A new approach for striker
Wimbledon will have to be on their toes as striker Al-Hamadi, who has had Rotherham United and Barnsley interested in the club Player of the Year from last season, is now being courted by Peterborough United.The Posh will almost certainly counter with a greater offer, but it will take something extraordinary to entice the midfielder away from Johnnie Jackson’s side.
Despite the fact that the attacker has yet to score this season, he has been an integral part of what the club has accomplished in the first month of the season. The Iraqi international, who came on with just over half an hour to play in the loss at Chelsea, was daring in approaching his markers and needs the rub of the green to open his account. Dons fans will be hoping that they don’t lose their top scorer from last season, while also keeping an eye out for any new arrivals to bolster a squad that might be a touch thin if injuries continue.
