Hayden Mullins

Crystal Palace have turned down an offer for HAYDEN MULLINS believed to be from Birmingham City.

Simon Jordan turned down a bid for MULLINS after Clinton Morrison went to St Andrews in the summer and the same club made another attempt during the transfer window.

Jordan said: "We have turned down an offer of 600,000 from the same club. I'll let you decide who it was.

"Contrary to popular belief, we are not a cash-strapped club and we do not have to sell players."
