Dundee's Kinky bid fails

"We spent much of the weekend talking to the player and he indicated he was keen to come and he admired the style of football played at Dens," said a spokesman for the Scottish club.

"But, late last night, he told us that he believes his future still lies in the English Premiership and he expects to get an offer from there.

"So, at the moment, our hard work has not borne fruit. We are reviewing the situation and looking at what opportunities still exist."
