Chris Hughton has denied speculation linking Newcastle with Sol Campbell, Jimmy Bullard and Andy O'Brien.

The Magpies are looking to strengthen as they prepare for life back in the Premier League.

But Newcastle boss Hughton has denied being interested in experienced Bolton centre-half and former Magpies defender O'Brien.

He is also not planning to move for veteran Campbell, who spent the back end of last season at Arsenal, nor Hull City midfielder Bullard.

The Newcastle boss told The Chronicle: "There's been talk about Sol Campbell and Andy O'Brien in the past and there are always names that keep coming up, but we've not looked into signing those players.

"And Jimmy Bullard is another player that has not been mentioned.

"There are some players we are interested in and we're open-minded about those options."
