Crawley Town closing in on new signing

The first of these is expected anytime tomorrow or even late today.

They are hoping then to tie up a second signing which could come close to the deadline.

Speaking on Tuesday afternoon director of football Selim Gaygusuz revealed: “We are just waiting for confirmations and approvals and are hoping to finalise a new signing today.

“We just want to make sure it’s the right one with the right attitude and not any Tom, Dick or Harry.

“We will then be working on a second one.

“We are talking to Football League clubs about loan signings of both a midfielder and a striker until the end of the season.

“I’m hoping it will be as good as Karlan Ahearne-Grant was last season, who we signed on the last day of the January Transfer Window.”

Gaygusuz was delighted Reds gained their first away win (1-0) on Saturday since head coach Gabriele Cioffi took over at Swindon Town.

He hopes the raised confidence will help them as they travel for their second away trip in a row up to third-placed Bury.

He said: “I am really happy for the gaffer (Gaby) to get his first away win and it was a great save in the last minute by Glenn (Morris).

“It was a good win and was only the third game Swindon have lost at the County Ground.

“We beat Bury at our place last time (3-2 in August) and I can see us scoring.

“I wish all the travelling supporters safe travel and hope they enjoy another good three three points!”
