Southend boss Phil Brown says Millwall target Ryan Leonard is going nowhere.

Leonard, 25, has attracted interest from the Lions and Sheffield United this summer.

Southend have rejected £500k bids from the Championship duo, with the club adamant on keeping their star man.

And Brown insists they will not be tempted to sell Leonard before the transfer window closes on Thursday.

He said: “I’m not expecting any more bids for Ryan Leonard and if we did get any I’m sure they would be rejected.”

Leonard has played in Southend’s opening four league games this season, scoring twice.
