Dean Smith has confirmed Brentford have turned down bids for James Tarkowski and Alan Judge and insists the club don't want to sell players.

Sheffield Wednesday saw a bid for Judge, who has been the Bees' talisman this season, rejected, while Burnley had their offer for Tarkowski knocked back.

Brentford have always insisted that every player has their price and they will only accept the best deal for the football club.

However, the club don't want to sell their 'better players', especially to a team in the same division.

Standing firm: Dean Smith

He told the club's official website: “There always will be interest in players when your team is doing well.

“We've had bids for Alan Judge and James Tarkowski but we've turned both of them down as we don't want to sell our players.

“We feel that we're moving upwards and improving and we want to keep our better players at the football club.

“They're from clubs in the same league as us. We want to keep our players and keep improving.”
