Carlos Carvalhal says he has no knowledge of reports linking Gary Hooper with a move to the Premier League.
There have been stories of clubs such as West Brom, Palace and Brighton being ready to bid £6m for Hooper in the January transfer window but Carvalhal said: “I am focussed on my work and my players and trying to improve my team and my players. This type of question is part of the circus again and I do not want to be part of the circus.
“The chairman has not spoken to me about this, so to me this is not reality.”
