French star Anthony Knockaert is going nowhere, Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson has stated.
The manager was talking after yesterday's 0-0 draw at Hull gave his side a vital point.
Newspaper reports had linked the young Frenchmen with his fellow countryman Arsene Wenger and Arsenal.
Pearson, who always refuses to discuss transfers, made the position quite clear. He said that Knockaert was "unavailable."
Pearson is more interested in buying than selling, with a striker his top priority.
He went on to say that his side's draw with Hull was "a point gained."
Pearson's men have now gone four games without a win and, despite remaining in fifth place, they now sit 12 points behind league leaders Cardiff and still seven points behind second-placed Hull.
"It was a game both sides tried to win, another day we could have won it but I think they can probably argue a similar case.
"I think there were two decent sides out there trying to play football but, unfortunately, it was a 0-0. But as far as 0-0 games go, it wasn't a bad game.
"We have had a bit of a lean period of late and I think we would have won that game a month or so ago.
"The levels of confidence are not quite as high as they have been, but the players continue to work exceptionally hard and I think that's the way out of spells like this when it's not always gone our way.
"It hasn't been through us playing badly, sometimes it just doesn't fall for you, but today we have defended with a lot of spirit and we have created some good opportunities again."
City have now failed to score in all of their last three outings.
"Clearly, we would like to be scoring when the chances come but sometimes you have to go through spells like that, and we'll get through that," said Pearson.
