Hull City manager Steve Bruce has insisted that Curtis Davies will not be leaving the North-East club in the summer transfer window.
Davies said two weeks ago that he was disappointed the club hadn't offered him a new deal, which led to rumours that Crystal Palace would table an £8m bid for the central defender.
However, Bruce has dismissed any suggestion that the club captain will leave the Tigers.
"Curtis won't be going anywhere," Bruce is quoted as saying in The Sun.
"He's under contract here. No matter what happens, he'll be with us when the season gets underway, that's for sure."
Davies, 29, joined Hull last summer in a deal worth £2.25m.
