He added: "I'll be auctioning jerseys, boots and some other signed items. There might be some of my things from the World Cup too."
Reid scored his first goal for the London club against Burnley last week and he was named on the bench for his side's 3-1 win over Liverpool yesterday (February 27th).
What's more, he scored a last gasp equaliser for his nation against Slovakia in the World Cup last year.
