French side Lyon have insisted that they are not looking to sell in-demand midfielder Miralem Pjanic.

Tottenham have been linked with the Bosnian as they look for potential replacements for Croatian international Luka Modric.

Reports suggested that the North London outfit were willing to offer £10m for the highly rated 21-year-old.

But Lyon head coach, Remi Garde, insists they are not looking to sell the former Metz player.

“Mira to leave? I do not think so,” Garde told FranceFootball.

“I am not sure if the president has received any genuine proposals.

“But I rely on him very much.”

Spurs have also been linked with a move for Dynamo Zagreb’s Milan Badelj, the very player that replaced Modric when he moved to England back in 2008.
