Wolverhampton Wanderers: 'Danny Batth is not for sale'

Wolverhampton Wanderers move to reject reports linking defender Danny Batth with a move to Aston Villa.

Wolverhampton Wanderers head of football operations Kevin Thelwell has revealed that defender Danny Batth will not be leaving the club during the summer.

Aston Villa are reportedly prepared to part with £5m to secure the signature of Batth, but Thelwell has insisted that the 23-year-old has a big part to play in the future of the club.

Thelwell is quoted by the Express & Star as saying: "I saw the story but we've had no approach from Villa. We want him to help us get into the Premier League, rather than him helping someone else in there.

"We've had no-one contacting us about Danny Batth, and neither would we welcome anyone contacting us about him because he epitomises everything we want about the football club going forwards.

"I think that he can achieve anything he wants to here, and he's destined to be a big part of our history going forwards."

Batth made 50 appearances last season as Wolves cantered to the League One title.
