Ipswich Town chairman David Sheepshanks has refuted suggestions that Alan Lee is on the verge of signing for Burnley.

The Clarets are keen to land a new striker after allowing Andy Gray to move to Charlton Athletic and weekend reports suggested Town boss Jim Magilton had accepted a bid for Lee.

However, Sheepshanks told Town's official website: "Contrary to newspaper reports, I can confirm that we have not accepted a bid from Burnley for Alan.

"Jim spoke to the media after Saturday's game and told them that no bid had been accepted for Alan from Burnley. At this stage, that is exactly how it stands."

Former Rotherham United and Cardiff City forward Lee has found the net 30 times in 88 appearances since moving to Portman Road two years ago.
