West Brom boss Irvine denies wanting Yacob sold

West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine insists he's not pushing to sell Claudio Yacob.

After being frustrated in his bid to sign wingers and strikers to boost his squad, Irvine is not keen to let any current players leave - including Yacob.

"We're not looking to sell," said Irvine. "We're trying to build the squad at this moment.

"But if someone comes in and makes an offer at a certain level, the club will decide whether to do business or not.

"We're not actively looking to sell Claudio, definitely not. But could it happen? Could someone come in for him? Possibly.

"We're not close to bringing anyone in and, likewise, I don't believe we are close to sending anyone out."
