It will take big money to persuade Gillingham to part with their prized assets.

Interest in young defensive pair Jack Tucker and Connor Ogilvie hasn’t gone away and teenage keeper Joe Walsh has also attracted attention.

Boss Steve Evans, whose side beat Shrewsbury on Wednesday night, insists nobody is going anywhere unless big bucks are on offer.

The deadline for transferring contracted players is tomorrow night (Friday) at 11pm.

Speaking on Tuesday, Evans said: “There has been interest and I have spoken to the chairman (about it).

“I have always said every player is available for a set figure but nobody has reached a figure for any of them. They haven’t come close, (so) they are not going to go.

”There has been a lot of interest in Connor, and there has with Jack, but neither of them are going anywhere.

“We don’t want to lose any of those kids. We are trying to build something.”

Gillingham turned down an offer for Tucker before handing him a new contract.

Evans was hoping to have tied up deals for a couple of new recruits before the deadline – the club have been heavily linked with Wolves winger Jordan Graham – while one or two could be heading in the opposite direction.

Defender Lee Hodson is moving back to Scotland while Bradley Garmston hasn’t kicked a ball in the Football League under Evans.

Evans said: “We are trying to be careful that we get our ins and outs right so that we have a full balance in the squad as we go forward.”
