Pirates spurn bid for Carayol

Bristol Rovers have rejected a six-figure bid from a Championship side for Mustapha Carayol, according to the club's official website.

The winger has impressed for Rovers this season since his move from Lincoln last summer and certainly has a number of admirers higher up the footballing ladder. This is not the first bid from a Championship club for the promising wide man, Barnsley were stopped in their pursuit of the 22-year-old in January when a bid was rejected by Rovers. Boss Mark McGhee has insisted he will do all he can to keep his best players at the club and that includes Carayol.
