Super Swede denies reports linking him with a return to England

Helsingborg striker Henrik Larsson has denied rumours linking him with a loan move to the Premier League. Reports in England have linked the Swede, who has recently confirmed he will continue playing for at least another season, with a short-term move to either Bolton or West Ham. Both clubs are said to have expressed their interest in the player, who secured a similar move to Manchester United in January 2007. The former Celtic and Barcelona forward enjoyed a three-month stint at Old Trafford, helping them to capture their first league title in three seasons. The 37-year-old's agent, Rob Jansen, confirmed that there was English interest in his player but added that he was happy to continue playing in Sweden. "Premier League clubs are interested in Henrik, but we are going to negotiate a new contract with Helsingborg," he told The Independent. But Larsson has stressed that even this may not be true by declaring to Expressen: "That is nothing I've heard about."
