German club FC Nuremberg have made it clear that they do not intend to sell Hiroshi Kiyotake to Aston Villa.
The West Midlands club are reported to be significantly interested in the 23-year old Japan international but a report in BILD suggests that Nuremberg are not in the mood to sell after only signing him from Cerezo Osaka last summer.
Nuremberg chairman Martin Bader said of the £13million-rated Hiyotake: "We still have no offer received. We also do not deal with it."
