Wigan Athletic manager Paul Jewell speaks about the rumours linking his club with a move for Newcastle United defender Andy O'Brien - saying that no approach has been made.

Jewell said:

"We've made no approach to Newcastle for O'Brien, I can tell you that.

"I can't stop people talking but I'm not going to comment on any names thrown at me either.

"All I will say is that I want to bring in players who are better than the ones we already have here."
