Willock, who made his Premier League debut against Newcastle United in April 2018, has scored three times in 14 senior appearances, including a double in the 3-0 FA Cup win at Blackpool earlier this month.

However, on any approach for a player who has represented England at U16, U19 and U20 level, Harford said: "No, we inquired about Willock in the last window, but I don't know where that story has come from.

"We haven’t made any inquiries for Joe Willock now."
