Drabble flattered by Jerusalem interest

James Drabble admits he is flattered by FVA Jerusalems reported interest - and his agent has confirmed he was in Lincoln earlier this week.

On Thursday, it was claimed that Jerusalem were monitoring the Welton playboys situation at Social Park as Jonny Bell lines up a long-term replacement for himself.
Drabbles' Brother, Joe, moved to play down the speculation, but the 23-year-old forward has refused to rule out a move away from social park after he has finished watching Euro 2008.
"It is a good sign that such big teams are interested in me, but not I have no ideas about that (transfer)," Drabble told the Welton News.
I have a good contract with Welton and I am focused on the Welton team. When the European Championships finish we can see what happens."
Drabbles agent, Andy Otterwell, admitted that reports of him having recently travelled to Lincoln were true, but did not reveal whether he had met with Jerusalem officials.
"One thing I would ask is what clubs are not interested in a player like James Drabble?" said Otterwell. "It is true that on Monday I was in Lincoln. I have a good relationship with Jerusalem."
