Bristol Rovers boss Paul Trollope has confirmed that he has not received any offers for star striker Rickie Lambert.

Rumours have been rife that Lambert could be on his way out of the Memorial Stadium, having caught the eye of many after netting 18 goals in 23 league starts this season.

However, Trollope was quick to refute claims that any bids have been made for his prize asset, making it clear he does not want to part with the 26-year-old.

Speaking to BBC Radio Bristol, Trollope said: "It's all quiet on that front and that's the way we want it.

"He's our top scorer, he's crucial to the way we play and we want him to stay at the club."

It is thought that several clubs are monitoring Lambert despite a bid not yet being tabled for the forward.
