FULHAM have poured further cold water on reports in the national Press suggesting Jean Tigana wants to sign Andy Cole.
Several tabloids claimed Cole is ready to walk out on Rovers in the summer in favour of a move to Craven Cottage.
But Fulham officials have joined Rovers in condemning the stories which first appeared earlier this week.
"Nobody at the club has heard anything about this. It is pure speculation," said a club spokesman.
However, Fulham scouts are still scouring Europe to try and find a top-class striker before next Thursday's transfer deadline.
