Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert will only sell Christian Benteke for the right price.
The Sunday Mirror says Villa want £25million from Tottenham for Benteke, 22, but Spurs think that is unrealistic and are set to make a £20m bid this week.
A Villa Park source said: "Paul Lambert will not be bullied. Look what he did to Darren Bent. He is the club's record signing, but Paul did what he thought was best."
