Cambridge United boss Jimmy Quinn has admitted he wants to fend off Championship interest in striker Robbie Simpson.
Simpson, 22, has caught the eye with his exploits in front of goal this term and he has reportedly come under the watchful gaze of Ipswich, Leicester and Norwich.
Quinn is not surprised to see Simpson attracting attention, but feels the forward would benefit from spending another season with Cambridge.
"Any young player that's in the form Robbie is in is going to attract interest, but we don't want to lose him," Quinn told the Eastern Daily Press.
"He'd be better off playing for Cambridge in the Conference, hopefully with a bit of success, rather than in someone's reserves for a Championship club.
"I think it's vital for Robbie's experience and development that he has another season with us and, with a bit of success, it could be the making of him.
"If he goes to the wrong club, it could set him back, but if he does leave he should be thinking about going to the Championship because he is that good."
Anyone know anything about this Simpson chappy, because this is the first I've heard of him?
