Colchester United are set to complete the signing of Dagenham and Redbridge defender Magnus Okuonghae today.

Colchester have fought off a host of rival clubs in order to sign the defender.

Phil Parkinson’s Charlton Athletic were also said to be very keen on signing the former Rushden and Diamonds man, along with a host of Championship sides.

However, it appears that Colchester manager Paul Lambert has got his man. For the full story, see today's Gazette.
