Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock has revealed he has received no enquiries for any of his star youngsters this summers, rubbishing reports Wigan Athletic are about to swoop for Victor Moses.

New Latics boss Roberto Martinez was said to have made strong enquiries about the 18-year-old and was considering a £2.5m move for the winger, who has decided to travel with the Eagles to America this week rather than play in the European U19 Championships for England.

When last season finished it looked like Palace would face a battle to hold on to teenage prodigies Moses, Nathaniel Clyne and Sean Scannell but the expected offers have not materialised.

"We have had no enquiries this week for any of our players," said Warnock.

"And there has been nothing about the young lads all summer, not even a phone call."

Warnock also revealed that Moses was given the choice whether to go with England or travel with Palace out to America this week, and chose to stick with his team mates.

"He's not going to the European Championships with England but is coming to America with us," said Warnock.

"He was given the option for what he wanted to do but he knows he has a real chance this year of establishing himself in the first team.

"Last time he came back he didn't really get going until Christmas so he wants to do better this year."
