Magpies miss out on Benson

Last updated : 31 July 2011 By Jacob Daniel

Notts County's move for Charlton Athletic striker Paul Benson has fallen through after the player decided he was unwilling to move from his London home.

The Magpies had seen a £150,000 bid accepted by the Addicks for the 31 year-old, but the deal for the former Dagenham man is now off.

With a move for Maidenhead forward Alex Wall having also collapsed this week, the pressure is on for Martin Allen's side to secure a new forward before the start of the season in two weeks time.
