Evans reveals Ademeno interest

Crawley Town manager Steve Evans has revealed that promising striker Charlie Ademeno is attracting interest from a number of clubs during the January transfer window.

The 21-year-old former Southend player has been attracting widespread interest after scoring a hat-trick in the first six minutes against Grays Athletic on 28 December 2009.

Evans told his club's official website: "Charlie is like the rest of the lads in that he is working very hard in this period we have had no football.

"He does however look razor sharp and got a brilliant hat trick in a practice match this morning''.

"The latest situation is that there has been a number of clubs enquire about the lad since the transfer window opened. However as yet no club has reached the valuation we have placed on him.

"The favourites to win the Blue Square Premier, a Scottish Premier League team and a three separate clubs at the top end of League 1 have all declared an interest.

"Each of those club managers have all had a number of conversations with me but they have each been told that until our valuation has to be met the young lad stays here at Crawley Town Football Club - as a manager that would suit be me nicely.

"He is without doubt a special talent who when the time is right will go onto much better things in football.

"He is a dedicated young man to his football and family. He has blistering pace, great movement and loves scoring goals, great ingredients if you are a striker."
