Stevenage teenager Ben Wilmot was withdrawn from the squad that beat Newport County 1-0 on Saturday, due to his involvement in transfer negotiations.
The 18-year-old defender, a reported target for both Arsenal and Tottenham, as well as Manchester City and Chelsea, was confirmed as having stayed behind when the club travelled for their away fixture by Phil Wallace, the chairman of the League Two side.
"Ben came back from International Duty with England last week and we have had developments that suggest a deal will be agreed shortly for him to move when the window opens," Wallace told the club's official website.
