DARLINGTON chairman George Reynolds believes star player and former York City striker Marco Gabbiadini will be going to Northampton next month.
Gabbiadini's contract with Quakers ends in a fortnight's time and there are a host of clubs chasing him from both the Second and Third divisions as well as the Scottish Premier League.
But Reynolds is convinced Gabbiadini is going to Northampton, who leap-frogged Quakers for an automatic promotion spot in the dying weeks of the season.
"We believe that he has agreed a pre-contract with Northampton," said Reynolds. "We made him an unbeatable offer which would have doubled his wages at Darlington. But we think he used that offer as a leverage."
