• More Premier League news

The young striker hit the headlines last month when, at the age of 15 years and 233 days, he became the youngest player ever to appear in the FA Cup proper.

Freeman has since made two more appearances for the League One side following his senior debut in the 2-1 FA Cup defeat at Barnet but has yet to start a first-team game.

Stimson is resigned to losing the teenage prospect, who has already spent time at Newcastle and Arsenal, but only if the deal is right for the cash-strapped Kent club.

"Luke has had a fantastic day at Newcastle and a fantastic day at Arsenal," said Stimson.

"He is going to West Ham for a day to have a look around. He will then make a decision.

"Those clubs will speak to our chairman [Paul Scally] and something might come of that.

"I think he will be moving on but only if that is right for this football club."

Stimson values Freeman at between £200,000 and £300,000 and added: "It has to be attractive for us because he is a talent."
