No Elliott Bid

Newpaper reports over the weekend had suggested that The Latics had made a bid for the City midfielder but Lansdown has denied this.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Premier League clubs started looking at some of our players towards the end of the transfer window, because that is what happens," he told the Evening Post.

"But there are no offers in for any of our players at the moment and we hope that's the way things will stay."
