Yeovil Town top-scorer Rhys Murphy has been linked with a move to National League new boys Southend United.
The @SouthendSimply Twitter account appears to have taken a punt after the Southend Echo reported the Essex club had made two signings – one of which is believed to be a striker – but could not announce them until their current club’s season had finished.
Murphy’s home base in the South East, plus confirmation from Glovers’ boss Darren Sarll that the striker has not yet accepted a contract offer are presumably part of the speculation equation as well.
The 30-year-old, who has 13 goals this season, has not featured since the 3-0 home win over Solihull Moors at the end of last month.
