Mowbray rejects rumours

Tony Mowbray has rubbished reports that Diomansy Kamara has asked to leave.

Kamara's future at The Hawthorns has been the subject of intense speculation for a number of weeks with several sides thought to be chasing his signature.

Mowbray says Kamara has not asked for a move and that all the rumours regarding his future have affected him recently.

"I would suggest Joe has been playing under a lot of speculation recently," Mowbray told the Birmingham Mail.

"But Joe's never mentioned anything to me - I just deal with the football.

"We can't do much about his agent. You sit down with his agent and he's a nice man but he likes talking about what Joe will be doing, even though he has three years left on his deal here.

"I have never had a conversation with Joe where he's told me he wants to leave the club.

"He's a good pro, he works hard in training and wants to win the five-a-sides. I have no problems with him as a man or a footballer."
