Bournemouth's James Hayter has rejected the chance to join Huddersfield Town.
The Terriers were keen on the 13-goal striker, but manager Peter Jackson has revealed that Hayter turned down their tentative enquiries, saying that he did not want to move his family all the way to West Yorkshire.
"We made an informal approach for James Hayter, but he made it clear to Bournemouth that he didn't want to leave," Jackson told the Daily Echo.
"It is the end of the matter as far as I'm concerned."
Cherries boss Peter Phillips confirmed the approach but said that no formal bid had been received.
"I can confirm that we received an informal approach from Huddersfield. We didn't receive a bid, so were not able to accept or reject it.
"I spoke to James about it and he indicated that he wasn't interested in a move to that particular club and I was delighted.
"As things currently stand, James remains a Bournemouth player and hopefully that will continue to be the case."
