Gillingham are being linked with a move for Congolese international defender Gabriel Zakuani.

As Adrian Pennock, assisted by Peter Taylor, goes about assembling a squad of the new League One season, Zakuani is just one of the names linked with a move to Priestfield.

Zakuani has all the attributes Pennock has been looking for as he aims to build a stroner Gillingham squad that leaked goals last season.

The 30 year old left Northampton Town at the end of the season and has had spells at Fulham, Stoke City and Peterborough United.

With former Yeovil Town defender Alex Lacey having already signed for The Gills, the addition of another experienced defender such as Zakuani would be welcomed by fans.
