Aston Villa manager Remi Garde has revealed he is yet to receive any offers for striker Libor Kozak.

Garde said earlier this month that Kozak, who joined Villa from Lazio for £7m in September 2013, could leave the club during the winter transfer window.

The 26-year-old Czech Republic international, who suffered a broken leg in January 2014, proved his wellbeing when making his first Premier League start for more than two years in Tuesday's 1-0 home win over Crystal Palace.

Garde was pleased with Kozak's performance in that game but it does not appear to have attracted any interest in him, with Garde offering no guarantees he will stay at Villa Park.

The Frenchman said: "He is still an Aston Villa player, we'll wait and see. I have no offers on the table at the moment.

"I was pleased with the way he played - I would have liked one or two goals and probably he has the same feeling - but he gave me an answer in the first month we had together.

"He worked very hard with a very good attitude in the training sessions, it's why I thought I could give him an opportunity to play.

"I watched the game again and for the first game it was very interesting."
