Chesterfield reject £800,000 Brentford bid for Gboly Ariyibi

Chesterfield have rejected an £800,000 bid from Brentford for winger Gboly Ariyibi, according to Sky sources.

It is understood Barnsley have also made a bid while Derby, Crystal Palace and Sheffield Wednesday are also interested in the player.

The United States U23 international began his career at Southampton before being released by Mauricio Pochettino at the end of the 2012/13 season without playing a first-team game.

Ariyibi signed for Leeds in December 2013 but made just two appearances as a substitute, as he did during a loan spell at Tranmere.

After signing for Chesterfield in August 2014, the 21-year-old has gone on to score three goals in 59 appearances.
