Welcome to your Thursday edition of The Seal.

Today, we’re bringing you some potential transfer news from the Deva Stadium as manager Calum McIntyre looks to add to his Chester squad to aid their push to secure a play-off place in the National League North come the end of the season.

The Blues are testing the water over a potential return for a former favourite, although talks remain exploratory at this stage, with nothing imminent in terms of getting a deal over the line.

If you’re interested in getting access to all of the content on The Seal, including written articles, podcasts and videos, and becoming part of the Blues community and discussion, you can do so for £5 per month, less than the average cost of a pint or a pretty mediocre latte from Starbucks.
