Leeds United insist top scorer Jermaine Beckford is not for sale.
The 24-year-old, who has scored 15 goals for the League One side this season, had been linked with a £3million switch to Premier League strugglers Derby County.
However, a club spokesman confirmed: "Jermaine's a key part of the club's progress on the pitch under Dennis Wise and there's no reason why he can't reach his ambitions of playing at the highest level with Leeds United.
"It's an exciting time for the club and Jermaine is very much part of the future here."
Beckford signed a new three-year deal with the club in October.
