Mark Hughes has insisted that he is not aware of interest from Aston Villa for Stoke City midfielder Wilson Palacios.
The Honduras international has been linked with a move away from the Britannia Stadium this summer, having struggled to find a regular place in the team since Hughes's appointment.
The manager told Goal.com: "I'm not aware of that interest. He had an opportunity to go to Qatar which would have been good for him but that fell through.
"We like him as a person and a player but sometimes it's right to move on. Interest from other Premier League clubs is not something I'm aware of."
Stoke play Hull City tomorrow afternoon.
