Coach of French Ligue1 side OSC Lille Rene Girard has denied reports linking goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama with a move away from the club.
The media in France have earlier in the week reported that Enyeama was a target for some clubs in the English Premier League including Liverpool and Sunderland.
The reports added that the clubs sought to have the Eagles captain as a backup for their first choice goalkeepers in the January transfer window.
Girard told French paper Le Foot, “Vincent has a contract that doesn’t terminate until 2017 and we have no intention of letting go one of our best players. Continue...
“The only bid we have received for his services is the one I read from the papers. As Lille as a club, we are yet to receive any bid from either Sunderland or Liverpool.
“Every player is available for a certain fee but Enyeama is not for sale, even if a bid comes in we will smartly turn it down.”
Enyeama extended his Lille contract to the summer of 2017 in December 2013 but reports have said the French side, which currently sit 12th with 16 points from 12 matches, will entertain bids for his services within the region of £8m to £10m.
