Ipswich Town skipper Matt Holland today denied any knowledge of a reported £4.2 million bid being lodged for him by Aston Villa.
Speculation mounted at the weekend when Villa boss Graham Taylor was spotted watching Holland play for Town at Walsall.
However, speaking exclusively to the Evening Gazette, Holland said today: "This really is news to me.
"I've heard absolutely nothing from anyone and I know that if a club had been in touch I'd have heard from our manager, George Burley."
