Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has rubbished suggestions that Bojan Krkic could leave the club this month.
The 24-year-old, who was described as the new Lionel Messi during his youth career at Barcelona, signed for the Potters last summer.
In recent weeks, Liverpool have been linked with a move for the attacker, but Hughes has insisted that the Spaniard is content at Stoke.
When asked by reporters about clubs possibly wanting to sign Bojan, Hughes said: "Don't bother.
"I think he's very happy. We have no intention of encouraging any interest in him. He's a big part of what we want to do, moving forward, so it's a non-story."
The players returned to England today after spending the week in Dubai to escape the bitter chill in training.
