Owen Coyle plays down Bobby Zamora link

Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has played down speculation linking his club with a move for Fulham striker Bobby Zamora.

The England international has been touted with a transfer away from Craven Cottage following a reported bust-up with boss Martin Jol.

However, Coyle has insisted that Wanderers have made no contact regarding Zamora's availability.

"Bobby Zamora is an outstanding footballer but I certainly have not had any dialogue with Martin Jol or any people at Fulham," he told a press conference.

"You only had to look yesterday to see the qualities that Bobby Zamora has, but there has been no interest from Bolton Wanderers."

Zamora scored the winning goal as Fulham beat Arsenal 2-1 yesterday evening.
