Portsmouth have rejected a bid for midfielder Sean Davis from an unnamed Premier League club, thought to be Bolton.

Boss Tony Adams says he 'would be mad' to let the 29-year-old leave as the club face a relegation battle.

Pompey sit just one point outside the drop zone after six losses in the last seven games, including a 3-1 reverse at Fulham on Saturday.

Adams told the club's official website: "Sean was fantastic for us against Fulham. His commitment and work rate were magnificent.

"He's done great for this club and I would be mad to let him go somewhere else.

No thanks

"I can understand why other clubs would be interested in Sean but we need him right now, so it's thanks but no thanks.

"He's happy here and I know that he'll fight and give everything for Pompey from now until the end of the season.

"We've offered him a three-and-a-half-year deal and we're hopeful that he'll sign that.

"I'd be delighted if he committed his future to this club because he's a player that you can always rely on to give his all."

Davis joined Pompey from Tottenham in January 2006 and has since made 103 appearances for the club, including 29 so far season.
