Koller rumours rejected

Jan Koller's agent has denied talk linking his client with Sunderland and West Brom.

Jan Koller's agent has laughed off reports linking the player with a possible move to Sunderland or West Brom.

It has been claimed that Premiership new boys Sunderland and West Brom had contacted Borussia Dortmund over Koller's possible availability.

The German giants are in a precarious financial positions with debts of ‚é¼135 million fuelling speculation that they could be forced to offload several of their top players in the summer to balance the books.

Sunderland and West Brom are both believed to have made a striker a top priority for next season as they plan for a survival battle.

However, Koller's representative Pavel Paska has rubbished claims that Koller could be set for a move to either club.

"These stories are a major surprise and I think someone is dreaming up stories," Paska told skysports.com.

"Jan Koller is a top striker and, in all respect, I don't think he would be keen on a move.

"He has one year left on his contract and he is staying at Dortmund as he wants to play in the World Cup for Czech Republic in Germany.

"After that, he is a free agent and then he could leave Dortmund."
