Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray has dismissed reports linking the club with a move for former England goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Hart has recently found himself short of playing time at Rovers' local rivals Burnley behind fellow England 'keeper Tom Heaton, and could look for a move away in the summer in the search of game time.
According to The Sun, Rovers were considering a loan move for the stopper, but Mowbray has claimed that is not the case.
Speaking to The Lancashire Telegraph about Hart after Rovers' 2-2 draw at home to Swansea in their final game of the season on Sunday, Mowbray said: “He’s not someone we’ve spoken about so I’m not sure where that has come from, whether it’s agent driven to try and create a story. I’m not sure.
“We haven’t discussed Joe Hart and whether he fits in to our team.
Speaking about Rovers approach to transfers in the summer, Mowbray added:“What I would say is that we won’t sign anyone based on their reputation.”
