Liam Noble 'attracting interest from Portsmouth and Cambridge United'

Notts County midfielder Liam Noble is attracting interest from Portsmouth and Cambridge United, according to reports.

The mercurial 24-year-old is out of contract in the summer, and with less than six months remaining on his current deal, he can now talk to other clubs regarding a move away from Meadow Lane.

According to the Nottingham Post, former Magpies boss Shaun Derry, now at Cambridge, is understood to be keen on linking up again with Noble, having signed him when manager of Notts following his release from Carlisle in June 2014.

Pompey manager Paul Cook is also said to be a firm admirer of the former Sunderland man, who has scored eight goals this season.

In total, Noble has made 60 appearances for Notts, scoring 14 goals in all competitions, but his time in the East Midlands has been plagued with a poor disciplinary record, accruing five cards in one-and-a-half seasons.
