Burnley boss Owen Coyle insists he hasn't made a move for Middlesbrough's Australian international defender Rhys Williams.Williams, who made his Socceroos debut on Wednesday against Japan, spent the second-half of last season on loan at Burnley before returning to the Riverside prior to the Clarets successful playoffs campaign.
The 20-year-old impressed during his loan stint at Turf Moor but Coyle claims he hasn't lodged a bid for the Australian despite reports to the contrary.
"I've not spoken to Middlesbrough about him," Coyle told the Burnley Citizen.
"He's a player I like, there's no doubt about that, but I'm not going to get involved with the speculation about you're after this, that and the next thing.
"What I would say is that I've already put a couple of offers in for players at different places and they were initially rejected.
"Then you move on or else you revisit it. That's where we are and Rhys Williams wasn't one of the players we made an offer for."
