Alebiosu has moved to quash the rumours, emphasising that his priority is returning to full fitness and aiding his team's battle for survival.

"I haven't looked into it much; I am focused on the club I am at," Alebiosu told BBC Radio Lancashire. "I have heard a few things, but my mind isn't on that. I am focused on getting as fit as possible and helping the team."

The former Arsenal youth player doubled down on his commitment, leaving no doubt about where he sees himself after the transfer window closes. "Everything out there is not what I am looking at," he affirmed. "I expect to be here, 100%."
