Davies not for sale.

Premier League Club Bolton have declared that they do not intend to sell Kevin Davies and will reject any bids for the striker.

This news comes, after the English striker was linked with a move to Blackburn Rovers.

The 32-year-old, who scored 12 goals, is a transfer target for former Wanderers manager Sam Allardyce with a reported bid of £5million, ready to be tabled to lure him to Ewood Park.

Allardyce originally brought Davies to The Reebok Stadium from Southampton in 2003, and was credited with resurrecting his stuttering career.

He sees the former Chesterfield forward as an ideal replacement for Roque Santa Cruz, who is on the verge of a big-money move to Manchester City.

Davies, who endured a frustrating time at Ewood Park in the late 1990s after a £7.5million move from Saints, only signed a new contract last year.

But Wanderers have no intention of allowing their influential captain to depart.

No bids have yet been made for the player and Bolton intend to reject any approach as they value Davies too highly.
