Clinton Morrison

Clinton Morrison's agent has described reports linking the Ireland international with a move to Charlton as "pure speculation".

Morrison is currently with the Ireland squad at the World Cup in Japan and it was suggested that Alan Curbishley has lined up a £5m bid.

But his agent Neil Fewings told the Croydon Advertiser: "Clinton's out in Japan hoping to get a place in the Irish team and frankly I cannot imagine any talk of a move at this stage of the World Cup. It's pure speculation."

Morrison is heavily rumoured to leave after the World Cup and he wants to move to a Premiership London club. Charlton would fit the bill, but Tottenham could also be an option as he was a boyhood fan.
