Platinum Stars deny Nyandoro interest

Platinum Stars have poured cold water on media reports linking 32-year-old Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Esrom Nyandoro with a move to them.
A Zimbabwean news website, www.newzimbabwe.com, says "Stars are interested" in Nyandoro, who has seen little action since the arrival of coach Johan Neeskens.
This has sparked speculation of the former Sundowns captain crossing floors to Platinum Stars before the January transfer window closes at the end of the month.
Nyandoro has only featured in two of the Brazilians' 15 League matches as a substitute.
In a chat with KickOff.com, Platinum Stars general manager Jason Raine ruled out the possibility of acquiring Nyandoro, who is still contracted with the Brazilians until 2013.
"No. These are just rumours," says Raine.
"We have not approached Esrom Nyandoro. The procedure is that if we are interested in a player, we approach the player's club first. We then go to the player if we have been given the green light to proceed.
"We have not approached Sundowns regarding Esrom," adds Raine.
