Colchester boss Paul Lambert has not ruled out selling potential Bristol City target Mark Yeates but insists the club have not received any bids for the winger.

Yeates' impressive displays last season are believed to have caught the attention of both the Robins and Middlesbrough.

But Lambert has dismissed reports that City boss Gary Johnson has lodged a £300,000 bid for the 24-year-old Irishman.

He told BBC Essex: "There have been no bids for any players so far, it's all quiet.

"The way Mark plays means he's an eye catcher. If an offer came in which we felt was good for the club then it's something we'd have to look at."
