Preston boss Alan Irvine insists the Championship strugglers will fend off any interest in their players during this month's transfer window.Relegation-threatened North End are currently bottom of the table following a miserable first half of the campaign.

But Irvine is adamant there will be no more key departures after the transfer of striker Patrick Agyemang to QPR.

He told the Lancashire Evening Post: "We have had phone calls for players but they are not going anywhere.

"Patrick was the one player that it would have been very difficult for us to keep here.

"But the other players are all under contract and they aren't for sale. We need to add players, not lose any more, that's for sure."
