Gillingham boss makes stance clear over Portsmouth-linked left-back

The Blues are reportedly keen on the Gillingham left-back and are lining up a move.

Ogilvie is one of the Gills' prized assets and scooped their 2019-20 Player of the Season award after scoring four goals in 41 appearances.

However, Evans insisted the ex-Tottenham defender – who has a year left on his contract – won't be leaving Priestfield after Gillingham rebuffed a bid from a Championship side in January.

Speaking to Gillingham’s website after their 1-0 friendly loss to Leyton Orient on Saturday, Evans said: ‘The chairman asked me and I made it clear.

‘We turned down good money from a Championship club last January for Connor.

‘He's certainly not going anywhere. He's under contract and he will be for some time.’

Evans also spoke on interest in Pompey target Brandon Hanlan.
