Cambridge want to keep Rendell

Cambridge United manager Gary Brabin say’s his team are having talks to hold on to striker Scott Rendell, however his team are struggling to raise the money for a permanent deal – but they’d settle for a loan deal.

Brabin said: “The ball is rolling in terms of negotiations with Scott.

“When January comes and it’s D-Day we’ll be fighting tooth and nail to keep him at the club.”

Peterborough are happy to sell the player, but they won’t settle for much less than the six-figure sum they paid Cambridge in February, and they reportedly have received two offers for the player from two league two sides.

Brabin says the striker wants to stay with Cambridge: “He desperately wants to stay, we’re desperate to keep him, he’s enjoying his football again,” added Brabin.

Rendell has netted 4 goals in six games since moving to Cambridge in November.
