Former Oxford United target Sammie Szmodics finished as the top scorer in the Sky Bet Championship, guiding his team to safety on the final day of the season.
This season, the Blackburn Rovers attacker scored 27 league goals, six more than Southampton’s Adam Armstrong.
His goals included a brace on the final day of the regular season, when Rovers triumphed 2-0 against Leicester City to secure Championship safety.
The U’s are thought to have inquired about Szmodics on January deadline day in 2022, when the 28-year-old was at Peterborough.
At the time, he had only scored three goals for Posh in the first half of the 2021-22 season.
This publication indicated at the time that Peterborough was only interested in a permanent deal, whereas United preferred a loan move.
In August 2022, Szmodics signed for Blackburn for £1.8 million. He scored seven goals in 41 games in his first season last year, but has followed it up with 33 goals in 48 appearances across all competitions this season.
Everton, Brentford, and Luton Town are among the Premier League clubs that have expressed interest in him.
