Could Crawley Town midfielder be next big name to leave Reds with Birmingham City, Derby County and Oxford United interested?

Crawley Town fans have been through the mill already this summer, seeing they promotion-winning squad decimated.

Liam Kelly became the seventh player of the starting XI from the 2-0 win against Crewe in the League Two Play-Off final to leave on Thursday following Corey Addai (Stockport), Laurence Maguire (MK Dons), Adam Campbell (Hartlepool United), Danilo Orsi (Burton), Will Wright (Swindon Town) and Klaidi Lolos (Bolton). Nick Tsaroulla (Notts County) who was on the bench that day has also left.

And now there are rumours another fan favourite could be on the way out.
