Blackburn chairman John Williams has issued a hands-off warning to clubs looking to pinch their top stars this summer.

Craig Bellamy is the pick of Rovers' bunch, with Liverpool, Middlesbrough and Tottenham all recently linked with the Wales striker who has scored 17 goals this season.

Several clubs have been put on red alert following reports that Bellamy has an escape clause in his contract, with the 26-year-old apparently needing to be notified if there is an offer of £6million or more.

But Williams is adamant Bellamy, who has stated he is happy at Ewood Park, is going nowhere.
With Lucas Neill also linked with a summer move to Spurs as manager Martin Jol apparently lines up a double swoop.

Williams said: "It's pure speculation as far as I'm concerned. Every week a different one of our players is linked with a move elsewhere. But we've said all along we want to keep hold of our best players."
