PLEAT DENIES RUMOURS

Pleat claims there is "nothing" in the link with Fabrizio Ravanelli, contrary to what Marseille`s Rolland Courbis has stated, and it now appears more likely that `The White Feather` will head back to Italy.

Rumours suggesting Leeds are trying to sign Darren Anderton, Bayern Munich want Steffen Iversen and that Mohammed Kallon of Reggina is a Spurs target have all been flatly denied by the former Luton Town boss.

However, Pleat has confirmed that Spurs are "looking at" Colchester whizz-kid Tresor Lomano `Lua-Lua` and that he is aware of several promising young players at Queens Park Rangers. As regards Espen Baardsen, Pleat said: "We are mindful of getting him some first team football" and it is probable that the Norwegian will move out on loan.
