Young midfielder Kundai Benyu looks set to leave the Blues this summer with manager Mick McCarthy revealing that there are currently no ongoing contract talks with the 19-year-old.
Benyu impressed while on loan at Aldershot last season and Town were keen to take up an option for a further year on his contract, which is due to end on June 30th, and offer him extended terms. However, no agreement has been reached.
"He is [out of contract],” McCarthy said when quizzed on Benyu’s situation. "He’s free to do, well, he’s not free, but if he goes somewhere there’ll be [youth] compensation.”
Asked whether talks are still ongoing, the Blues boss added: "Well, he’s not here today, so no.”
Earlier in the summer, Benyu was reported to be interesting Tottenham, West Ham, Aston Villa and Celtic, although it would be a surprise if the Camden-born youngster were to make a move to clubs of their stature.
