Norwich City striker Gary Hooper 'not joining' Bolton Wanderers

Norwich City boss Neil Adams has insisted that Gary Hooper will be going nowhere after reports linked the striker with a move to Bolton Wanderers.

Following Neil Lennon's appointment as the new Bolton manager, it was suggested that out-of-favour Hooper could link up with his former Celtic boss.

However, Adams has moved quickly to pour cold water on the rumours.

Speaking of Hooper, he told BBC Radio Norfolk: "He's as good a finisher as we've got. He's a player I want here.

"If there are genuine enquiries they will be politely declined."

Hooper made his first Norwich appearance of the season at Fulham on Saturday after a calf injury kept him out of Adams's plans in the opening two months of the campaign.
