Paul Lambert says Darren Bent will not be leaving Aston Villa this summer.
The 30-year old striker, who was on loan with Fulham last term, had been linked with a Villa exit earlier in the transfer window but according to Lambert, the West Midlands club will not sell while Christian Benteke and Libor Kozak remain injured.
"I do expect him to be here at the end of the transfer window," said Lambert.
"You would keep Darren. As I said before, you do what's right for Aston Villa.
"No one will go until I say so. You keep all your players and I don't see us letting anyone go right now.
"Nobody will leave without me saying. I don't think any player like that will move. Darren's here and nobody will be going."
