QPR manager Neil Warnock has dismissed rumours suggesting he is keen on signing former Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb in January.
Hleb is currently on loan with Wolfsburg from parent club Barcelona until the end of 2011, but the German outfit have no intention of making the deal permanent.
The Belarusian has only figured in a handful of games in the Bundesliga due to a series of injuries, and Hleb has been linked with a move to Loftus Road to regain his fitness and form.
However, the former Crystal Palace manager has rubbished any talk about securing the signing of Hleb in the new year.
He told the Sun: “I read that one the other day. There’s no truth in it. I would struggle to say his name in the team talk!”
The 30-year-old’s career has stalled since leaving Arsenal in 2008 for Camp Nou, with Hleb returning to the Premier League for a loan spell with Birmingham last year.
