Oxford United have rejected a bid from Crawley Town for in-demand striker Jamees Constable.

It seems unlikely that Steve Evans will return with a larger offer, despite Blackpool's bid for Red Devils striker Tyrone Barnett. The Crawley manager said: “I can confirm we have had offers turned down for both Ryan Stevenson and James Constable. We have spoken to Hearts and Oxford United respectively and we respect their right to turn down the offers we made. We are some distance apart in what we offered to what those clubs wanted so we will move on to alternative targets we have identified.”
