Southend star Ryan Leonard is annoyed with the club for rejecting bids from Championship trio Millwall, Sheffield United and Bolton.
Leonard, 25, was handed a new contract by the Shrimpers to stop him leaving on a free transfer in the summer.
The midfielder has been a consistent performer for Southend in League One - winning the club’s Player of the Year award three times.

And he has informed Southend that he wants to leave Roots Hall, according to HITC.
Millwall, Sheffield United and Bolton are chasing Leonard, but have had multiple bids knocked back by the club.
Southend chairman Ron Martin and boss Phil Brown are desperate to keep their star man for their League One promotion push next season.
