Allen is keen to keep hold of Hayles, Kenton and Hammond

Cheltenham Town trio Barry Hayles, Elvis Hammond and Darren Kenton are in talks over new deals at Whaddon Road.

Hayles, 36, is on loan from Leicester City until Tuesday, while Kenton, 30, and Hammond, 28, are both on short-term contracts that expire in January.

"We are in negotiations with all three at the moment," Robins boss Martin Allen told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

"We are nearly sorted with Elvis and Darren and,hopefully, this week we will get those deals done."

Veteran striker Hayles is in his second loan spell of the season with Cheltenham.

Defender Kenton joined on a three-month deal on 3 October and striker Hammond arrived at Whaddon Road in the middle of November.
