Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has played down reports of Middlesbrough having made an offer for Sky Blues striker Leon Best.

Coleman says that his club have not fielded any official bids as yet for the 23-year-old Republic of Ireland international.

He told the Evening Telegraph: "I have not had one offer, not one bid.

"They are obviously interested in him, so we have got to be pro-active and say, right, let's get our ducks in a row and say this could happen.

"And let's be honest here, if it doesn't happen now he is going to go in the summer, because he is not going to sign a new contract with us.

"So let's make sure we get someone in before we get one out."
