Lafferty was a target for Celtic during the January transfer window

The 19-year-old, who was the subject of a �500,000 bid by Celtic in January, signed a new contract in March which ties him to Turf Moor until 2010.

"(Wolves manager) Mick McCarthy called me and he enquired about Kyle, although there were no bids made," Cotterill told the Burnley Express newspaper.

"It didn't take me long to say we didn't want Kyle to go anywhere."

Cotterill added: "Their chief executive Jez Moxey then spoke to our chairman and that was rebuffed. We wouldn't want to sell Kyle."
