Brighton & Hove Albion have turned down a bid from Bournemouth for Will Hoskins, according to manager Gus Poyet.
The 25-year-old joined the Seagulls during the summer from Bristol Rovers.
However, he has been limited to just nine appearances this season and as a result is said to be keen on a move away from the AMEX stadium.
"They made an offer and we turned it down, nothing else," said Poyet in The Argus. "We are not keen to sell anyone."
It is not known whether Bournemouth are prepared to submit another offer.
