Derby County have not received any approaches for striker Patrick Agyemang with the forward not for sale, DerbyshireLive understands.
Reports earlier today from Football Insider said that Leeds and Crystal Palace had both made approaches for the American amid claims he was valued at £20m.
But it is understood that Derby have had no offers for the former Charlotte FC striker, who only joined the club from the MLS side last summer for a fee of £5.9m.
Clubs will be wasting their time too as DerbyshireLive understands the club will not entertain any bids for the forward.

Agyemang has been in excellent form in recent weeks and again registered another goal contribution last night as his cross led to Macaulay Gillesphey’s own goal at Charlton.
That followed his header against Preston at the weekend as the Rams went on to seal a 1-0 win at Deepdale, which was his seventh goal of the campaign.
With Carlton Morris also out until February, Agyemang has been leading the line in his absence and has become a huge hit with the fans on the terraces.
Derby head coach John Eustace is a big admirer of the American but speaking after the recent win over Preston, feels there is still more to come from the forward.
Agyemang is also in a crucial year for his hopes of a place in Mauricio Pochettino’s USA squad for the World Cup next summer.
Agyemang needs to be playing regularly if he is to heighten his chances of competing for football’s biggest prize in his homeland.
