St Mirren have rejected a £175k transfer bid for Caolan Boyd-Munce, according to a report.
It's claimed English League One side Leyton Orient tabled a bid for the Northern Ireland internationalist on Tuesday.
However, the offer - reported by Sky Sports - has been turned down by St Mirren chiefs who are keen to extend Boyd-Munce's contract in Paisley.
The midfielder, 24, signed for St Mirren on a short-term deal in March last year but triggered a contract extension through an appearance-based clause in his contract.
Boyd-Munce is now under contract at the club until summer 2025 with Stephen Robinson viewing the midfielder as a key player in the squad.

Boyd-Munce earned a first Northern Ireland cap while at St Mirren where he plays alongside cousin Conor McMenamin.
He also recently helped strike a deal to land Oisin Smyth from Oxford United after his glowing comments on the St Mirren set up.
Boyd-Munce missed St Mirren's friendly win over Dunfermline on Saturday but could be involved in the match against Renfrewshire rivals Greenock Morton tonight.
Failing that, he will return to action in a closed-door friendly against Airdrie on Wednesday.
On his absence at the weekend, Robinson explained: "He's got blisters, which sounds like nothing but his whole foot is infected.
"I know myself, I've had them before and it's very difficult to play with.
"You don't take any chances with it in a friendly. He'll be back involved on Tuesday or Wednesday and fit to go from there."
