Not a day seems to go by when the Wales international midfielder, who even by his own admission has not played to his full potential during the first part of what has been a disappointing start to the season for Blues, is being linked with a move away from St Andrew's come the transfer window opening next month.
However, despite the rumours, Bruce has confirmed that not since last summer when Everton registered an interest has any club contacted him about the availability of Savage and even if they did he does not want to sell him.
Savage, who signed a new three year deal in the summer, put in arguably his best performance of the season so far in the 2-1 win at Aston Villa on Sunday and a return to the form of the last two seasons would be a big factor in Blues' attempts at climbing away from the foot of the Premier League table and finishing the season on a high.
