Scunthorpe United manager Brian Laws has ruled out any move for Coventry City striker Leon Clarke.
There had been rumours that Scunthorpe were interested in Clarke, who had a very good spell at Glanford Park last season but the Scunthorpe boss told his club's website: "It would be nice (to sign Clarke).
"He's a great player and will score goals in whatever division he'll play in, but he wants to play in at least League One.
"That doesn't mean that we can't go in, and I know the chairman will back us up, not just financially but in signing the right kind of player.
"Realistically we wouldn't have any hope of signing Leon, not at this stage.
"He's available because of Coventry's current financial situation, but he's also on a very high wage as well which we wouldn't be prepared to pay. He'll have a lot of clubs chasing after him that will be prepared to pay."
