Bolton manager Neil Lennon has dismissed a report of Town interest in Trotters midfielder Darren Pratley as "speculation for now”.
The crisis club, who could enter administration in the next 48 hours if they aren’t sold, are set to lose a number of their first team players, including Zach Clough, who is set to join Bristol City, and Mark Davies, who is close to moving to Sheffield Wednesday.
According to The Sun Town have made an enquiry regarding midfielder Pratley, who scored Bolton’s equaliser in their FA Cup third round tie at Eastleigh on Saturday.
However, questioned about the link by the Bolton News, Lennon said the report was "speculation for now”, although admitted that the flow of information regarding players’ situations is less than perfect at the present time.
Pratley, 30, was linked with a move to the Blues in the summer when he was a free agent but eventually signed a new deal with the Trotters and was subsequently named their club captain.
The Londoner started his career with Fulham and spent time on loan at Brentford before moving on to Swansea and then in 2011 Bolton.
