Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has laughed off speculation that he has placed a £20million price-tag on rising midfield star Jordan Henderson.
The 20-year-old is being hotly tipped for a senior England call in the near future, having impressed for both club and the Under-21s in recent weeks.
That has parked talk of interest from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City, but Bruce is not preparing to part with one of his side's top performers.
He commented:"I haven't put any price tag on anything.
"The only thing I know is that Jordan is an exceptional footballer and has got the world talking about him since he scored for the Under-21s in front of the England manager.
"The speculation that he is going to be in the next England squad has had everybody talking about Jordan.
"We have known about him for about 18 months now. He is a fantastic player.
"I haven't put any price on his head at all, that would be ridiculous of me."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
