Glenavon issued a brief statement in response on Friday afternoon, insisting no deal has been done for the 28-year-old.

The statement read: "Contrary to a media report which emerged late last night Linfield have not “snapped up striker Matthew Fitzpatrick from Glenavon”.

"There has been a regrettable leak of information – not from the Glenavon side – and this report should be ignored.

"The matter will be discussed by the Glenavon board early next week."
