Northampton Town have opened talks with goalkeeper Mark Bunn about a new contract.
The 23 year old keeper, who has 12 months left on his current deal, has made more than 100 first team appearances after progressing from the club's Centre of Excellence, and has been the subject of transfer speculation since the end of the season.
"Mark is a very good keeper and he is a player we want to keep at the club," said boss Stuart Gray.
"There have been various newspaper reports out there about Mark recently and people will speculate about our players but if they are that means we are doing well and that is the price you have to pay. The time to worry is if other clubs are not impressed by our players.
"We are keen to try and sort Mark's contract out and the Chairman and I have met with his agent and we will have to see what happens.
"We want to fulfil our ambitions and we see Mark as a very important player to help us do that.
"We are realistic and we won't stand in any players way if they want to further their career and if any move is in the best interests of the club, but we hope that the players can see what we are trying to build here and they will feel that their ambitions can be realised at Northampton Town over the next few years.
"We have stability at the club with the management staff under contract, and if we can get some of our key players tied up on longer term contracts that can only help."
