Bristol Rovers are free to sign long-term transfer target Callum Camps after Stockport County turned their attention elsewhere in the market.
Camps was believed to be bound for Edgeley Park but manager Dave Challinor has instead elected to sign former Bristol City academy player Connor Lemonheigh-Evans from Torquay and Akil Wright from York City in midfield.
Although Stockport have a significant budget for League Two, the arrivals of Lemonheigh-Evans and Wright effectively make up the intended salary for Camps, so are seen as better value additions in the context of where they are for the League Two season ahead.
