Norwich chairman Alan Bowkett has laughed off rumours the club were prepared to sell their star players in the transfer window.

Rumours were rife on transfer deadline day that the Canaries were on the verge of selling Wes Hoolahan to Hull City for £2.5million in order to repay some of the club's £23million they owe in debts.

Grant Holt and Chris Martin were also linked with moves away from Carrow Road as a host of clubs looked to capitalise on Norwich's current situation.

Bowkett has now rubbished talk of any of the Canaries' star names leaving the club, insisting no one is for sale.

"I am not prepared to talk about it other than that I think we have clearly got three footballers at the front of our team who are very attractive to teams way above our current playing performance level," said Bowkett.

"It doesn't make sense. You sell a player for £1m, £2m, but just by going up into the Championship we stand a chance of getting £3.7m extra revenue through broadcasting and a share of parachute payments - it just doesn't make sense."
