Trotters boss has not contacted Fulham for striker

Bolton boss Owen Coyle has played down talk linking him with a move for Fulham striker Bobby Zamora. Reports have suggested Coyle was lining up a move for Zamora in this month's transfer window as he looks to bolster his attacking options. Zamora's future at Fulham has been the subject of speculation for some time following rumours of an alleged bust-up with manager Martin Jol. Coyle admits he is looking for reinforcements to help his side climb off the bottom of the table, but insists he has not spoken to Jol about Zamora, who scored the winning goal for Fulham in Monday's victory over Arsenal.

Chasing

"We are chasing one or two of our own targets because that is the way football works and we are trying to bring them in to help the squad," said Coyle. "We have suffered injuries to top players from the start of the season. We are starting to get one or two back but there is no doubt that we need to get one or two in to help the squad we have to make sure we stay in the Premier League. "Bobby Zamora is an outstanding footballer but I certainly have not had any dialogue with Martin Jol or any people at Fulham. "You only had to look yesterday to see the qualities that Bobby Zamora has but there has been no interest from Bolton Wanderers."
