Cardiff boss Dave Jones has slammed media reports suggesting a bidding war for top scorer Michael Chopra.

National newspaper reports suggest Premiership clubs are ready to instigate bids of close to £4million for the former Newcastle marksman.

"I read one story that said Everton and Manchester City are conducting a bidding war over Michael (Chopra)," said Jones.

"I don't know who they are in a bidding war with but it's not Cardiff City. We've not had an approach from either of them - or any other club.

"Michael is a Cardiff City player, he has just signed a new contract and clearly we want him to stay."

Chopra, who will miss Cardiff's final two games because of suspension, has scored 22 league goals this season following his £500,000 move from St James' Park last summer.
