EXCLUSIVE: Lincoln City and Torquay United agree fee for Mustapha Carayol
LINCOLN CITY'S tribunal showdown with Torquay United has been scrapped after the two clubs finally agreed compensation for Mustapha Carayol.
Details of the deal remain undisclosed, but the Echo understands the Imps will pay a five-figure sum for the winger as well as including a sell-on clause in the package.

Lincoln will not have to go to tribunal for Mustapha Carayol after agreeing a fee with Torquay United.
Imps chairman Bob Dorrian moved quickly to negotiate a deal with the Torquay hierarchy ahead of Saturday's game between the sides which the Devon outfit won 2-0.
He took the decision amid fears an independent tribunal panel, who were due to decide on a price for the player at a hearing tomorrow, could have left the Imps paying over the odds for the highly-rated Gambian.
But the City supremo believes the deal he has in place for the 22-year-old, who joined the club on a two-year deal in May, suits both parties.
"The details of the deal will remain undisclosed, but I certainly believe it suits us for a player of his quality," he said.

“Chesterfield have signed Dean Morgan from MK Dons. He was exceptional for Aldershot against us last season. I'd rather have seen him than Broughton, and Facey.
Up the Imps”

“Torquay website let's slip they got £35k for Carayol! So much for undisclosed sum! I guess they needed to appease their fans. I hope he's worth it.”

“Great move for the lad, he must be thrilled. After all, Torquay look dead certs for relegation and the Imps nailed on for promotion....
I love the 'buzz words' in this article...'highly rated Gambian' and 'City Supremo'....Laughable...”
