Nicholson had been linked with a move to the Championship club but Roeder insists that he was never on the radar.

Roeder told the club's official website: "I have no intention of signing Nicholson and to be honest I'm unhappy with agents who talk up their players supposedly going to clubs regardless of whether or not any bid has actually been made.

"Contrary to reports in the last few weeks I have not missed out on a single player I have been interested in signing.

"I am very busy at the moment working on several possibilities and I am confident players will be starting to arrive at Carrow Road within the next three or four weeks."
