Ciaran Clark is set to stay at Newcastle according to Steve Bruce (Image: GETTY)
"I explained the situation to Ciaran and he understood that totally."
Bruce went on to say that he wasn’t sure where the Tavernier rumours have come from, and shut down talk that a deal is in the pipeline.
He added: ”I really don't know where that came from and I hate it when people talk abut my players so I'm not going to comment on anybody else's."
"I'm never going to speak about any player until the deal is done so I really can't comment on that."
