Coleman says Westwood will stay

Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has dismissed speculation linking goalkeeper Keiren Westwood with a move to the Premier League.

Rumours began when Westwood missed Saturday's FA Cup victory over Kidderminster at the Ricoh, although he was suffering with diarrhoea.

"Everybody's got a price," Coleman told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire. "But we're building a good team here.

"Keiren didn't play because he pulled out of training with sickness."

Andy Marshall replaced Westwood to help stretch the Sky Blues' run of clean sheets to three as City booked a fourth round trip to Torquay United thanks to their 2-0 win.

Westwood is one of a number of players who have courted interest from other clubs but Coleman is just as determined to keep hold of them all.

"Aron Gunnarsson, Westwood, Dan Fox and Scott Dann are going to be linked with big clubs," admitted Coleman. "They're good players and they're getting better and better. But we're not selling. We're building."
