Gillingham midfielder Tim Dieng linked with a move to League 2 Cheltenham Town
Gillingham midfielder Tim Dieng looks set to be heading out on loan.
Reports suggest the 32-year-old is set to join Gills’ League 2 rivals Cheltenham Town on loan until the end of the season.
The Gills have made no secret that they are likely to see players leave in the winter transfer window to help accommodate new arrivals.
Gillingham have so far brought in three additions, including the permanent signing of Bolton midfielder Nelson Khumbeni.
More signings are expected ahead of Monday night’s transfer deadline.
Dieng joined the Gills two years ago from League 1 Exeter City, with the club triggering a release clause in the midfielder’s contract and signing him for an undisclosed fee.
He was one of several players the Gills signed in that window when the Galinsons first took charge of the club, splashing the cash to avoid relegation. Dieng helped Gillingham to pull clear of trouble in the second half of the campaign.
Dieng’s played 66 times for the Gills in the league, scoring 10 goals, but injuries haven’t helped his time at the club.
He came off the bench at Grimsby on Tuesday night, for his 14th appearance of the season and almost scored, heading an effort onto the post, but was left out of the squad for Saturday’s game against Notts County.
Fellow midfielder Jonny Williams also dropped out of the matchday squad, another player who hasn’t played much football this season.
A mum has told of her anger after a driver who knocked down her daughter on a zebra crossing and “changed her life forever” was allowed to walk free from court.
Dollie Giglia was just 11 years old when she was “sent flying up into the air” by John Tutt’s Peugeot 107 on Tram Road, Folkestone.
The schoolgirl was rushed to King’s College Hospital in London and at one point her mum, Annie, feared she would die.
Dollie survived but suffered multiple fractures and a brain injury that has left her struggling to focus at school and at risk of early-onset dementia.
Canterbury Crown Court heard last week that Tutt, 48, admitted to police he had “s**t eyesight” and at first hoped he had hit a dog rather than a little girl.
