Fulham boss Roy Hodgson insists Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey is not on the radar.

Hodgson says he has faith in his strikers and will not be considering a move for Aston Villa and England forward Emile Heskey, who has been linked with a move to Craven Cottage.

"I have to say quite honestly that he's a player whose name has never been discussed here so I'm as surprised as anyone to see that we are preparing a bid for him because it's complete fabrication," Hodgson said.
