Sunderland boss Ricky Sbragia is determined to keep key men El-Hadji Diouf, Michael Chopra and David Healy at the club.

The trio have been linked with a move away from the Stadium of Light but Sbragia maintains nobody is going anywhere.

“There’s been a lot written about Dioufy,” he told the club’s official website.

“But I’m pleased with him, he seems happy at the club and we know what he can do, he set himself a standard last week.

“It’s the first I knew that anyone was interested in him,” he said of Healy.

“No-one has phoned me regarding David Healy. I want him to stay at the club, he’s an important member of the squad; he’s a good player.”

Sbragia also said that there would be no way Chopra would leave the club.
