Scandinavians make move for Byrne

SHELBOURNE manager Pat Fenlon has made it clear that he doesn’t want to lose star striker Jason Byrne, but if the player is to leave Tolka Park the Shels boss insists that the deal has to be right for both the player and the club.

Byrne has been the subject of substantial bids from Djurgardens of Sweden and Lynn Oslo of Norway, which have been described as multiples of previous eircom League transfer records. One report puts the figures being offered at around €400,000.

However, Pat Fenlon has asked both clubs to return with higher bids for the under contract player who has already been the subject of interest from Championship side Brighton.
