Southampton boss Ruben Selles insists Lyon striker Moussa Dembele isn't in their transfer plans.
Dembele is out of contract at the end of the season, and he has scored just one league goal since September having been in and out of the team.
Selles, speaking ahead of his side's visit to Manchester United on Sunday, was asked if there is any ongoing work behind the scenes to bring the forward to St Mary's.
Well I have literally no idea what you are talking about, but I think this part of the club is on standby for now because we have a task to do just in front of us and that is our focus," he insisted.
Everything that is for later in the year or for next season is basically not something I am going to lose any single second of my focus for."
