Dover have not received any offers for their players ahead of the January transfer window in the football league, according to Chris Kinnear.

Last January, Peterborough reportedly made an approach for striker Ricky Miller before he joined them in the summer.

Dover are again pushing for promotion this season and will want to keep their young squad together as much as possible.

Speaking after his side drew 2-2 with Maidstone on Boxing Day, Kinnear said: “We have just got to keep our heads and not worry about anything else and make sure the lads get prepared for every game.

“No one has made an offer for any of our players. I know Jay (Maidstone boss Jay Saunders) has had a couple of offers for his players and that’s quite well known.”

Dover came from 2-0 down against Maidstone to earn a point at home. Two first-half goals from Joe Pigott were cancelled out by Nortei Nortey, in the 58th minute, and Ryan Bird 10 minutes from time.

The Whites again face Maidstone on New Year’s Day this time with the match being played on the Gallagher’s 3G pitch.

Before the match with Maidstone, Dover face FC Halifax Town on Saturday at Crabble.

Halifax are 14th in the National League but Kinnear says it will be a tough test for his side, who are fifth.

He said: “They are a big strong side. They started poorly, it’s one of those things that when you come in the league you aren’t sure what it’s going to be like.

“It won’t be easy but if we do what we do, we will win.”
