Accies hot-prospect Lewis Latona is wanted by a number of clubs this summer
In-demand Hamilton Accies youngster Lewis Latona is at the centre of a three-way battle for his signature next season with Sheffield United and Belgian top-tier side Beerschot joining Hull City in pursuit of the midfielder.
Sheffield United have already raided Accies this season, signing Coatbridge kid Ryan One who has enjoyed a sterling start with their Development team scoring 13 goals in all competitions since joining in September last year. Latona made his league debut for the club in a 3-1 win at Annan last month, having twice played for Accies on the road to them lifting the SPFL Trust Trophy last season, and has caught the eye of a number of clubs. Yesterday, Accies boss John Rankin confirmed Latona had been absent from the squad last week due to a trial in England.
"He played against Annan for us last month and came on and made an impact in that game but, due to the circumstances of him being away for a period of time, he wasn't able to play for us. He hasn't trained with us at all since he was down there, so he won't be involved in any of these play-off games because he has spent the past 10 days down south and not with the group.
