Wigan boss Martinez dismisses Sunderland talk for Kirkland

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez insists goalkeeper Chris Kirkland is not for sale.

Despite renewed speculation of possible interest from former Wigan boss Steve Bruce and Sunderland, Martinez insists his undisputed No.1 is going nowhere this summer.

"There have been no offers for Chris Kirkland nor do we want there to be," he told the Wigan Evening Post.

"The only player we have had an offer for is Charles N'Zogbia, which was turned down.

"Chris is a very important member of our team and he has a key role to play again next season."
