Coventry City have received a seven figure bid from a Premier League side for star asset Sam McCallum.

But the Sky Blues have knocked back the offer and manager Mark Robins hopes the club remain firm in their stance to rebuff further attempts, insisting the initial offers is “nowhere near” the club’s valuation.

“We are trying to keep hold of the squad and everyone together,” said the City boss, speaking after the goalless draw at Fleetwood Town.

“There’s a bid come in for Sam McCallum from a Premier League team - a good seven figures but the club have turned it down, thankfully.

“Hopefully we will be able to keep hold of him. It’s nowhere near what I would expect for him and we have just got to make sure we are strong.

“It’s a big test - a big test to see if we can keep hold of him.

“I suggest we should do because the bid is miles away from where we need to be with it and I think that if he stays with us for a bit longer that fee only goes up.”
