SPECULATION on Merseyside linked Grimsby Town with a deadline-day move for Southport winger Shaun Whalley yesterday.
The 25-year-old featured for the Sandgrounders in Town's opening game of the season and rumours suggested that the Mariners have made enquiries as to his availability.
However, no signings were made at Blundell Park on what was a quiet day as the nation-wide transfer window closed.
Meanwhile, Preston North End were revealed as one of the clubs to have shown an interest in experienced Mariners' front-man Anthony Elding.
However, boss Graham Westley, who Elding played under at Stevenage, said that he would not be pursuing a deal for the 30-year-old.
