Manchester City manager Mark Hughes has denied claims that the club's England Under-21 defender Nedum Onuoha is set to depart Eastlands as part of the deal to bring Joleon Lescott to City from Everton.
Reports in the English press had claimed that the highly-rated youngster was set to leave City, along with £15 million, as an additional incentive for Toffees' gaffer David Moyes to part with his talismanic centre-back.
But there is no substance to those reports, according to Hughes, who told City's official website, "I am aware of that story, and I can say categorically that there is not truth in it whatsoever.
"Nedum is one of our finest young players, he was outstanding for us last season, and I am not looking to move one of our prize assets away from Manchester City."
Meanwhile, Hughes also updated reporters on the progress of the club's new signings as City continued with their pre-season tour of South Africa with a game against Kaizer Chiefs on Tuesday at the ABSA Stadium.

"The likelihood is that Gareth [Barry] will take part tomorrow, but Carlos [Tevez] has not had a training session with the group since arriving because he has had a slightly bruised heel," the Welshman explained.
"He will train today, but it is only his first session so it may be a bit soon for him to play tomorrow. But, with a bit of work going into next Saturday's game, the hope is that he will take some part in that one.
"Emmanuel [Adebayor] is travelling out and should be with us tomorrow. We will see what condition he is in then and I can make a decision with regard to whether he's available for the game at the weekend.
"The group is really excited by the impact of the new players, and they are really looking forward to the challenge of this season. That's due to the high quality we have been able to add to what we already had in the squad, so everybody is excited by what's ahead."
