Howe scored 12 goals in 41 games for Morecambe last season

Yeovil Town and Lincoln City are both competing with each other for Peterborough United striker Rene Howe.

The 22-year-old is on Posh's transfer list after struggling to break into the first-team.

Yeovil manager Terry Skiverton told BBC Somerset: "He's come up the right way, the non-league way."

Lincoln boss Peter Jackson told BBC Radio Lincolnshire: "I've spoken with him and we've made contact with his agent and the club."

Howe signed for Peterborough in July 2007, but has made just three starts and spent last season on loan at Morecambe, where he scored 12 goals in 41 games.

Jackson added: "We're still waiting for a final decision on it. If the decision's no, we're still looking about for strikers who will lead the line."

Meanwhile, Skiverton revealed any deal was far from complete for Yeovil. "It's only interest, there's nothing set in stone," he added.
