Wolves' no to Dundee's Garry Kenneth

Wolves today moved swiftly to kill a story in Scotland claiming they were interested in Dundee United defender Garry Kenneth as they missed out on Aruna Dindane.

Newly-promoted Blackpool and one other top flight club, along with a Championship outfit, were thought to be chasing 6ft 3ins stopper Kenneth, who turns 23 next month.

Molineux boss Mick McCarthy watched Kenneth in an end of season goalless draw against Hearts.

But Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey insists Kenneth, who like Christophe Berra was given his club debut by Scotland boss Craig Levein, will not be moving to Molineux.

Moxey, who has also rubbished a link with £7m-rated Burnley striker Steven Fletcher, said: "Mick may well have watched him, but he was probably watching other players at the game.

"He's not on our list of targets."

Dindane has agreed a three-year deal with Qatar club Al Shorta, who are paying Lens £2.6million for the 29-year-old striker.

Although Kenneth is not on Wolves' radar, they wdo ant to sign a centre-back.

Moxey said: "He was one of the players we were in dialogue with."

But someone who is edging ever closer to a move to Molineux is Anderlecht utility man Jelle van Damme.

A report today claimed the 6ft 4ins left-sided player has agreed terms on a four-year deal.

Wolves would not confirm the story but are still in negotiations over the fee, which is expected to be around £2.5million.
