Scunthorpe United have dismissed speculation linking striker Martin Paterson with a move to Championship rivals Norwich City.

The 20-year-old Northern Ireland international has netted 11 goals in 30 appearances for the Iron this season, having moved to Glanford Park from Stoke City for £425,000 last summer.

However, Scunthorpe chairman Steve Wharton insists that Paterson will not be going anywhere in the near future.

He told the Evening Telegraph: "Martin is not for sale. We do not want to sell our leading scorer.

"It's not the same situation as with Billy Sharp last summer when he had given us two seasons of good service and was out of contract."
