Southend chairman Ron Martin insists star striker Freddy Eastwood will still be at Roots Hall next season. Eastwood, 23, who has been named in the latest Wales squad, scored 16 goals for the Shrimpers this season but could not prevent their relegation to League One.
Martin told Southend's website: "Just because we were relegated, Freddy's situation has not changed.
"He is not for sale and he is not going anywhere. He will be here next year because we are not a selling club."
