And he has attracted interest from teams including Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland.
And Crawley Town fans have reacted on the CRAWLEY TOWN 4 LIFE facebook page. Andrew Waight said: "Take the money now, that seems a to good a deal to me. He had 3 good months and then fell away. Very replaceable player."
Matt Putland said: "Yes, he started the season on fire but seemed to get found out from around October. He's replaceable. This sort of deal is how small clubs should work at this level. Sign players for a nominal fee, develop them in to good players and sell them on for a good profit."
