Aguerd’s lack of appearances in the build up to Afcon allegedly after a long period of sickness cleared up in time for him to join Morocco, throwing anxiety into the minds of backroom staff.

That, plus his regular lack of form and various injury issues, has focused minds and he is now in a position where if the club can get the £30 million they paid for him – or close to it – he looks certain to be on his way.

There have been regular rumours that interest has been shown by Saudi clubs but our main contact explained yesterday that had certainly not been the case adding: “We wouldn’t mind some over the top Saudi offers for some of our players!”

Benrahma has also become a big disappointment with the backroom powers-that-be and is another on the exit list should a deal be acceptable although interest from French  clubs has been denied.

Ben Johnson is still seeking around £60k a week to remain at the club which is unacceptable to the board and unless he moderates his hopes he too will definitely be on his way.
