There has been a lot of chat about Luke Graham's Dundee future during this transfer window.
Unsurprisingly, the 21-year-old defender appears to have plenty of potential suitors after a string of standout displays this season.
While the fans may be pondering whether he will stay or go, perhaps there is a bigger question - can Dundee afford to sell him?
But his value to the team cannot be understated. Despite his young years, he has looked hugely assured in a side that has been steadily improving as the campaign has gone on.
Of course every player has his price and if the club's valuation is met then there is every chance Graham could move on to pastures new.
Graham's numbers back up his burgeoning reputation. Opta stats show he has had the most clearances, headed clearances, passes, successful passes and forward passes of any Dundee outfield player in the Premiership this season.
He ranks second for interceptions, third for fouls won, and has also created six chances.
So it is clear Dundee's hopes of extending their positive progress would be better served by his continued presence in the side.
Dundee's rearguard options are already stretched with injuries to Billy Koumetio and Clark Robertson, so losing a talisman like Graham would further add to their problems in that department.
One player doesn't make a team but the loss of a key one can have a big impact.
If Dundee can hang on to Graham for the remainder of the season, it would arguably be the best piece of business the club do during this transfer window.
