Fulham boss Chris Coleman has dismissed recent reports linking Portugal international Lois Boa Morte with a move to Newcastle United.

The striker has been linked with a move to St James Park, with Lee Bowyer even being rumoured to heading in the other direction!

No doubt many Toon fans laughed off these reports straight away, and speaking to Sky Sports, Coleman confirmed: "We've not had one enquiry.

"I'm sure there would be a lot of clubs who want Luis because he's a quality player but, unfortunately, they won't be getting him.

"He's not for sale, he's important to us, especially the position we are in. We want to keep him, well, extend his contract and keep him at the club.

"It makes you laugh, people talking about Boa Morte moving from this club."
