Reading manager Steve Coppell has rubbished reports that Wigan have made a £5million bid for midfielder Stephen Hunt.

Hunt has been linked with a move away from the club all season but Coppell insists he has yet to receive a single offer for any of his high-flying squad.

'Stephen Hunt's situation is exactly the same as it was last summer. There has been no official contact from anyone,' Coppell said.

'To be fair to him, he has made his desires known, but he fully realises that he has a challenge here and he is fully committed to that challenge.'
