A host of clubs in England and Scotland are chasing St Mirren midfielder Jim Kellerman on loan before the transfer window closes, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

Kellerman only joined St Mirren earlier this summer after arriving on a free transfer from English National League side Aldershot Town.

The 20-year-old was signed by former St Mirren boss Jack Ross prior to his departure to Sunderland and he has found first-team chances limited under Ross’ replacement Alan Stubbs.

Kellerman has made only one start in the Scottish League Cup so far this season with another three appearances off the bench.

St Mirren manager Alan Stubbs looks on during the Betfred Scottish League Cup match between Kilmarnock and St Mirren at Rugby Park on July 13, 2018 in Kilmarnock, Scotland.

Stubbs is willing to let Kellerman go out on loan so that he can get regular first-team football under his belt this season.

The news has alerted a number of clubs in England and Scotland to the former Wolves youngster’s availability on loan.

Kellerman signed a two-year deal when he joined St Mirren in the summer after spending two seasons at Aldershot following his departure from Wolves.
