Gianfranco Zola cools Filippo Inzagh speculation

Zola cools Inzaghi speculation

New Watford manager Gianfranco Zola has dismissed rumours linking the club with a move for former AC Milan frontman Filippo Inzaghi.

The 38-year-old poacher is a free agent after leaving Milan this summer and has been said to be considering a move to the Championship.

It emerged earlier today that Reading have reportedly offered a contract to the striker.

However, Zola today cooled the rumours that he is close to signing his fellow countryman for the Hornets.

"Obviously he is a player with a big name and I normally don't talk about players that are not my players," the Italian told Sky Sports News.

"As far as I am concerned I have got players to look after here and I am going to focus on them.

"Inzaghi is a big name and he is an intriguing name, but as a manager I have to focus on my resources."

Zola watched his new side struggle to a 1-1 draw with non-league side Borehamwood this evening.
