Crawley Town set for talks with Torquay's Eunan O'Kane

Crawley Town manager Sean O'Driscoll says he will hold talks with Torquay United midfielder Eunan O'Kane early next week.

The Reds have made an approach for the 21-year-old, who scored five goals in 51 appearances last season.

O'Driscoll said: "We've put in an offer for Eunan but he's away on holiday. I think he's back next Monday and he's due to come down.

"He's bright and did really well last year in an unfashionable Torquay side."

He added: "Under Martin Ling, they [Torquay] did fantastically last season.

"They've been well managed and well coached and have got one or two players who clubs in higher divisions would look at.

"Eunan is attractive because of his age and the fact we can develop him.

"As a character, he ticks a few boxes for me.

"He'll hopefully see it as a step to eventually play in the Premier League. If he's got a career plan, hopefully we'll be a part of it."
