McKenzie A No-Go

Last updated : 30 August 2006 By Martyn Bowers
Norwich boss, Nigel Worthington, has insisted that talk of McKenzie going to Wearside was totally untrue.

The 28-year-old recently had a transfer request rejected following a bid from Coventry City but the East-Anglian outfit are seemingly resiliant to all approaches.

"I don't know where the story came from, but I shouldn't imagine it was from Roy Keane, I don't think he will start revealing his targets to the press," Worthington told the Pink'un.

"There has been no contact whatsoever between the two football clubs.

"I've said it before and I'll say it again - I don't want to sell Leon. He made a transfer request and it was turned down and that's all there is to say as far as I am concerned.

"He is an important part of the squad - and will still be here after the deadline has passed."
