The agent of former Sunderland and Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon has played down talk of a move to Italy.

The Scot is being linked with Udinese as he battles to continue his career due to past knee problems.

Andrew Evans told Calciomercato.it: "Udinese is an old story from a year ago. There has been no new contact with the Italian club.

"Negotiations with English teams? No, at the moment there is nothing concrete."
