Southend have rejected an offer from Brentford for transfer-listed striker Charlie MacDonald.

MacDonald was told he was available to leave Roots Hall after just one season with the Shrimpers but manager Steve Tilson insists he will not let the 27-year-old leave for anything less than his valuation.

Tilson told the club's official website: "Brentford have come in with an offer for Charlie but it isn't near what we want for him.

"He may be on the transfer list but the deal has to be right and we won't be selling him for what they have offered."
