Southampton: no bid for Dejan Lovren

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has laughed off talk of a move away from St Mary's for defender Dejan Lovren, insisting that the club have yet to receive an offer from Liverpool for the Croatian.

"We have had no bid from Liverpool for Lovren, that is the situation," the Dutchman quipped. "If that does not change, he will continue to play at Southampton."

Tottenham, Man Utd and Liverpool are all believed to have shown some interest in the Croat, but no club has yet to have made an official bid for the defender.

The Saints are desperate to keep hold of their star defender.
