Sheffield Wednesday refute Burnley bid for striker
SHEFFIELD Wednesday have moved to confirm they have not received a formal offer from Burnley for striker Marcus Tudgay.
Burnley have been reported to have made a 1.75m bid for the 26-year-old, who scored 14 goals last season and was voted Owls player of the year.
But a Wednesday club statement read: "Sheffield Wednesday can confirm the club has not received a formal offer from Burnley Football Club 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."
Tudgay joined Wednesday from Derby County in January 2006.
Last season was his most productive at the club, scoring 14 goals in 42 Championship starts.
