Harvey Saunders is set to leave Bristol Rovers before the January transfer deadline next week, Joey Barton has revealed.
The 25-year-old forward has been the subject of interest from League Two clubs, including Tranmere Rovers and Hartlepool United, throughout the window, but Gas manager Barton was keen to keep hold of him. However, the Rovers manager says a fee has been accepted a fee for the former Fleetwood Town striker and he could not stand in his way as he pursues the chance to play regularly.
"There have been a few in for him and sniffing around, so that will be for him and his agent," the manager said. "We’ve had a fee we’re happy with for Harv. He’s a great lad and he’s desperate to go and play.
