Championship side Leeds United have insisted that midfielder Rodolph Austin is going nowhere on transfer deadline day.
The 29-year-old Jamaican has been heavily linked with a move to Wigan Athletic, but Leeds have poured cold water on the possibility of him leaving.
"There has been significant interest in the player and media reports over the weekend and on Monday had suggested that the club had agreed a deal for Rudy to exit Leeds United, but this is not the case," read a statement from Leeds chairman Andrew Umbers this afternoon.
"Rudy remains a vital part of Neil Redfearn's squad and will play a major part for Leeds United in the remaining 18 Sky Bet Championship matches and beyond.
"The midfielder has expressed a desire to remain at the club and help head coach Neil Redfearn make the season as successful as possible."
Austin, a former captain of Leeds, has scored twice in 22 appearances for the Whites this season.
