Dnipro insist Tottenham and Liverpool target Yevhen Konoplyanka will not leave the club this month.

Spurs have been linked with a £7million move for the 25-year-old, who is thought to have attracted interest from a number of top clubs, including Inter Milan and Monaco.

Konoplyanka is out of contract in the summer and it was reported that Dinpro would look to cash in now rather than risk losing him for nothing — especially given Liverpool were close to completing a £20m deal a year ago before running out of time to complete negotiations.

However, Dinpro executive director Andriy Rusol told Ukraine Football today: “Nobody sells Konoplyanka. He remains in our club.”
