 Hutchinson was not offered a new deal by Brentford this summer |
Notts County face a battle with four other clubs to sign ex-Brentford midfielder Eddie Hutchinson, according to Magpies boss Steve Thompson. The 24-year-old left the Bees after he was not offered a new deal this summer.
"He has spoken to Port Vale, Barnsley and Huddersfield, but his girlfriend is due to give birth very soon," Thompson told County's website.
"So he doesn't really want to move away from London. Oxford have come in for him too, I'm just awaiting a decision."
Thompson has already made 10 new signings since his appointment at Meadow Lane.
