WEST Bromwich Albion say they have rejected an undisclosed bid from Derby County for midfielder George Thorne.
The Rams are keen to sign 21-year-old Thorne after his successful recent loan spell.
But the Baggies have again stated that none of their players are for sale.
"George has progressed through the Academy into the first-team squad and we have high hopes for him," said Albion technical director Terry Burton.
"He underlined his potential while on loan at Derby and we have no intentions of selling him.
"We have told Derby he is not for sale and that is the end of the matter as far as we're concerned.
"The same goes for all of our players. We are not looking to sell anyone. Our only aim is to strengthen our squad this summer – not weaken it."
