Burnley have denied reports Liverpool could sign striker Danny Ings and loan him back to the Clarets for the rest of the season, stating such a move would be against Premier League rules.
The England U21 international has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool over the last 24 hours, with reports suggesting he would be loaned back to the Turf Moor club - a deal the Clarets say is impossible anyway.
Ings, 23, has impressed in his first season in England's top division, scoring seven goals in 19 appearances, but he is out of contract at the end of the season.
His age means Burnley would be due compensation, but they are still keen to tie him down to a new deal as any tribunal fee would be lower than they could achieve in the regular transfer market, especially if he were to move abroad.
Chief executive Lee Hoos said: "This type of move would violate Premier League rule V7 regarding transfers so simply cannot happen.
"This is the last time we will be making any comment regarding the player’s future.
"Over the course of the window, the player himself, Sean Dyche and the chairman have made it clear he won’t be going anywhere and we consider that the end of the matter."
