Nigel Clough denies Will Hughes bids

Derby County manager Nigel Clough has revealed that there have been no bids so far for midfield starlet Will Hughes.

Clough said, however, that he would brace himself for approaches from the Premier League as transfer deadline day looms.

"There's been no official approach from anyone, but as the window starts to close it might intensify," Sky Sports News quotes Clough as saying.

Hughes is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in the Football League and the 18-year-old has made 40 league appearances for the Rams.
