Pompey cool on Emmanuel-Thomas

Portsmouth manager Steve Cotterill has dismissed reports of a swoop for Arsenal forward Jay Emmanuel-Thomas despite reported interest. The Gunners have reportedly received £1million bids for the 20-year-old from Pompey, Burnley and Ipswich.But Cotterill told The News: "We haven't put in a bid for him. There is absolutely no truth in that whatsoever."He's not a player who has been on our radar at all this year. I have no idea where that has come from."Maybe he is going somewhere else and the agent is trying to drum up interest. But there is no interest from us."
