Carlisle United have been linked with two summer moves - as the transfer rumour mill continues to turn.

The Blues have thus far sealed a deal for former Annan Athletic midfielder Owen Moxon, while seeing Brennan Dickenson and Taylor Charters pen new deals.

But manager Paul Simpson and recruitment chief Greg Abbott are set for a busy few weeks ahead, especially after both Joe Riley and Magnus Norman opted to move on after being offered fresh terms at Brunton Park.

Their departures mean that ten players have departed the club following the end of the 2021/22 season - although Jamie Devitt is expected to join the Cumbrians in pre-season in a bid to earn a new deal.

A substantial rebuilding job is therefore ahead, and reports have suggested two names who could be on Carlisle’s radar.

Rangers winger Josh McPake was linked with a switch to Cumbria in January, and Football Insider have claimed that the Blues are again interested in his services.

The 20-year-old failed to really make an impact during loan spells at both Morecambe and Tranmere Rovers last season, but is well-regarded at Ibrox.

McPake has two years to run on his deal in Glasgow, with reports suggesting League Two duo Crewe Alexandra and Stockport County are also monitoring his situation.

However, it is suggested that Giovanni van Bronckhorst could opt to monitor the wideman in the early weeks of pre-season before consenting to an exit.

Elsewhere, The Hammy End report that Carlisle are keen on a move for Fulham under-23 skipper Sonny Hilton.

The midfielder scored nine goals and registered 12 assists in 26 games last term as he helped the Cottagers’ second string to the Premier League 2 Division 2 title.

Hilton, who hails from Liverpool, has represented England at youth level and is considered a promising prospect by the capital club.

The 21-year-old has been out on loan once before, as he joined Finnish side TPS in 2021.
