Crawley Town boss Yems gives update on player contracts and Bez Lubala speculation

When the Reds announced their retained list, they announced they had offered contracts to Dannie Bulman, Ollie Palmer and Panutche Camara.

And Yems believes only one will sign.

Yems said: "Bullie is all done but we are struggling to get Ollie to sign, I think he will be leaving."

And on Camara, Yems said: "I don’t think he will be back, he wants to leave the club. I think he is still looking for a club. There’s no animosity or anything, he just wanted away. It’s a shame but it’s one of those things."

Yems also added that all the speculation around Lubala can be ''taken with a pinch of salt'.

There have been rumours that Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall are all interested.

But Yems said: "It’s all speculation - if you read the newspapers he’s been sold about eight times. You just have to take it with a pinch of salt. Until someone actually comes in with a bid, he’s still our player."
