Wolves chief Jez Moxey has cooled talk of a move for Coventry City striker Leon Best.

Best, off contract in June, was linked with a January move to Molineux in Sunday's press.

But Moxey said: "There's nothing in it - I'm happy to say there's no truth in this.

"Mick has always thought of Leon Best as a good player but we have bought Stefan Maierhofer and we still have Chris Iwelumo to come back from injury, so we have two players covering the role that player can play.

"Given the player's contractual status, I would have thought he was more likely to allow his contract to run out and become a free agent."
