Lille Boss Girard Denies Enyeama Bids Report

Lille boss Rene Girard has denied that there have been any bids for Nigerian goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama amid reported interest from Liverpool and Sunderland.

The Reds’ goalkeeping troubles this season have been well-documented, while the Black Cats have had similar problems between the sticks.

However, Girard insists that Les Dogues have had no approaches for their number one as yet.

“Vincent has a contract that doesn’t terminate until 2017 and we have no intention of letting go one of our best players,” he told Le Foot.

“The only bid we have receive for his services is the one I read from the papers, as Lille as a club we are yet to receive any bid from either Sunderland or Liverpool.

“Every player is available for a certain fee but Enyeama is not for sale, even if a bid comes in we will smartly turn it down.”

Enyeama penned a contract extension at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy last year, but reports suggest Lille are willing to sell for around ?10 million.
