THE O's are rumoured to be making a formal offer for Cheshunt striker Lloyd Opara.

21-year-old Opara, elder brother of ex O's player KK Opara, played for the Orient reserves as a triallist in their recent 4-1 win over Barnet, scoring twice.

"We have Lloyd under contract so at least the club might get something out of it if he does eventually go," stated Cheshunt Chairman Vince Sartori.

Cheshunt manager Tom Loizou stated "In my opinion, Lloyd has the potential to play in the Premiership in the future. He's young and he's got pace, ability and strength.
