Sheffield Wednesday have officially denied reports that Premiership new boys Burnley have made a £1.75m offer for Marcus Tudgay.
Those reports appeared in the press over the weekend but the Hillsborough club have moved quickly to deny it.
A club statement said: "Sheffield Wednesday can confirm that the club has not received a formal offer from Burnley for the services of Marcus Tudgay, contrary to recent media reports.
"As a club, Sheffield Wednesday wants to build a competitive squad around players like Marcus Tudgay, with the aim of reaching the Premier League together.
"Further, Marcus recently agreed a new three-year contract with Sheffield Wednesday, which he is due to sign when the players return later this week, indicating his commitment to the club."
