Burnley boss Brian Laws insists he has no plans to loan out Robbie Blake when the loan window reopens next week.

Blake was linked with moves to Preston and Barnsley during the January transfer window, but the player remained at Turf Moor.

There has been fresh speculation that the 33-year-old could be on the move later this month, but Laws has ruled out letting Blake depart the Lancashire outfit.

"It's not surprising that someone like Robbie will get interest," Laws told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"He's a quality player and if we want to stay in the Premier League, he's a player we'd want to keep.

"If we want to achieve what we've set out to do, we'd be foolish to let him go anywhere."
