Manager Walter Smith has dismissed as speculation reports suggesting that he will listen to offers for Blues midfielder Alex Nyarko. The Ghananian international is rumoured to be unsettled since his summer ?4.5 million switch from Lens, despite some impressive performances in the heart of the Everton midfield.
The Blues Boss said: "We have received no enquiries for Alex Nyarko and there has been no offers for him, so the situation is that he settles down and plays for Everton.
"It's not been easy for any of the players we brought in during the close season because of our injury situation and as far as I am concerned everyone here has been getting on with the job."
