JERMAINE Easter is set to leave Home Park.

Manager Paul Sturrock revealed the news immediately after Argyle's disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Swansea.

The Welsh international striker is enduring some domestic problems and feels a move away from Plymouth could help to resolve the situation.

"We have circulated out to football clubs for Easter," said Luggy.

"He has got some domestic problems, which he feels he can't clear up, playing in Plymouth. We are circulating to clubs to see if we have any takers.

"I am disappointed, but the quicker it is sorted out, the better.

"It is time-sensitive [with the transfer window closing in nine days] but Jermaine has to understand that he has a value, and, like anybody else, that value has to be met.

"It has been bubbling for quite a long time but I have come to understand it over the last ten days after Jermaine came to see me.

"It had been happening since the end of last season and he has decided a move from Plymouth would benefit his domestic problems."

A move away from Argyle would obviously free up some money in Luggy's transfer budget for some replacements but, should Easter not secure a transfer, he will remain part of the team.

Luggy said: "He is a big boy and he will have to get on with it [if he stays]. If we can move him on, we move him on, and that may clear some money to maybe bring in two strikers.

"We need good Championship players."
