Kuffour, who hit 14 goals for the Bees last season, has turned down a move to Huddersfield because he wants to either move to a Championship club or stay in the London area.
RUMOUR RATING **
Kuffour upset Torquay when he left them for Brentford - and it seems that he may upset Brentford by leaving them for free this summer. The likes of Millwall and QPR are likely to be in a better position to secure his signature than Gillingham, but all the while he remains out of contract, he remains a potential target, even if he is unlikely to sign.
