Mark Robins has refused to be drawn to reports that Leeds United loanee Charlie Cresswell turned down a move to Coventry City late in the January window.
According to Football League World, Cresswell had agreed to join the Sky Blues on a permanent deal until he changed his mind late in the window to remain at Elland Road.
Cresswell is believed to be keen on staying with the Whites as he believes he can still have a future at the club. The 20-year-old, who is on loan at Millwall, was heavily linked with fellow Championship clubs Middlesbrough and Sunderland, but it appears Coventry came closest to signing him.

However, when asked about Coventry's links to the England under-21 international, Robins refused to add clarity of the situation.
“I never, ever do anything in public. I will never talk about what I am doing, what I am not doing, what I might be doing or what I have considered or what I have thought about," Robins revealed in his pre-match press conference via Coventry Live.
“It’s these people’s jobs to speculate and put things out into the public domain, and they are bound to get some things right but good luck to them.”
Leeds were reportedly exploring the possibility of recalling Cresswell from his loan at The Den in order to facilitate a move elsewhere. However, Cresswell is now expected to see out his season-long loan with the Lions.
The England under-21 international has recently been restored to Gary Rowett's line-up and has started each of Millwall's last three games after previously struggling for game time.
