"GOING nowhere" is the message from North End to clubs enquiring about signing Jon Macken and Sean Gregan

Intense media speculation in recent days has linked the players with big money moves to the Midlands -- Macken with a move to Wolves and Gregan to Birmingham City.

But North End have insisted both players, who recently signed new contracts with Preston, are staying at the club.

Preston North End have confirmed that there was an approach by Wolves about a month ago and the bid was in the region of £3m, but it was turned down. But they deny reports suggesting Preston have received a further two bids from Wolves for the 23-year-old hitman, reported to be £3.5m, rising to £4m on appearances with a £10,000 a week contract for the star striker.

The club have also received a "sizeable" bid from Birmingham City for defender and skipper Sean Gregan, but it was rejected by the club.
