Erhahon, 24, has recently emerged as a key player in Michael Skubala’s midfield. He has made 107 appearances in all competitions for his current club and scored twice.

EFL Analysis reports that Derby County, Millwall, and Oxford United are monitoring his progress in the third tier. Meanwhile, Blackburn Rovers have been credited with an interest.

After joining Lincoln City in 2023, he stated on their website, “I always wanted to play in England and push myself to the next level.” I believe Lincoln is the right place and club for the next step in my development, and I’m excited to get started.

“Jez George (director of football) came up to Scotland to speak to me which meant a lot, the club showed they wanted me and I was impressed with the plans for the club – hopefully we can go far together.”

Erhahon rose through St Mirren’s academy ranks. He played for the Buddies at various youth levels before making his first-team debut in 2017.

He went on to play 123 games for the Scottish Premiership side, scoring four goals. Barnsley signed him on loan in 2020, but he did not make any appearances.

Ethan Erhahon is linked to Derby County, Millwall, and Oxford United. What is his next move?

Lincoln City’s ability to retain Erhahon remains uncertain. He may now want to push himself to new heights.

Derby County stayed up on the final day after a 0-0 draw with Stoke City. They are now preparing for John Eustace’s first full season in charge and may see Erhahon as someone to strengthen their squad.

Millwall missed out on the play-offs, and Alex Neil has done well since taking over. The Lions and Oxford United are reportedly interested in signing Erhahon and may compete with the Rams for his services.
