Norwich boss Alex Neil insists strikers Gary Hooper and Ricky van Wolfswinkel remain part of his plans at Carrow Road.
The Canaries have bid for Wolves striker Benik Afobe and are also understood to be interested in Stoke City forward Jonathan Walters.
Several national newspapers reported on Friday morning that Norwich could offer Hooper to former club Celtic as part of a deal for Hoops striker Leigh Griffiths.
But, despite remaining coy over who he is looking to recruit before the transfer window closes, Neil suggested both Hooper and Van Wolfswinkel could potentially have futures at Carrow Road.
"As far as I am concerned there is no interest in Gary Hooper," Neil said. "There has been a lot of speculation in the media but until anything is concrete then we won't be commenting on it.
"We won't be commenting on anything concerning any players, whether they are going or staying, because ultimately the ones we want to bring in are not our players."
Neil took a similar stance over Van Wolfswinkel, who spent last season on loan at St Etienne having scored just once in his first season at Norwich.
The club-record signing returned at the start of pre-season with another exit widely anticipated but, despite not being involved in either squad for the opening two league games, Neil has backed the Holland international to come good.
"Ricky understands his situation," he said. "I have sat down and had a chat with him on a good few occasions.
There has been a lot of speculation in the media but until anything is concrete then we won't be commenting on it.
"He trains with the first team every day and he played in the Under-21s to get some minutes under his belt. We have not had the discussion whereby his agent needs to get him a move.
"His task is to get himself into the first team. He is training hard and trying to do that and scored in the development game against Leicester on Monday."
