Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has denied that striker James Vaughan is to leave the club.

Vaughan had been rumoured to be joining Celtic on a season-long loan, but Hughton has insisted that the striker is part of his first-team plans.

Regarding a possible move to Celtic, Hughton said: "There is nothing in that. That is news to me.

"James has done well in the period of time that he has been with us since the start of pre-season. He is pushing for a first-team place like the rest of the lads.

Hughton recently joined Norwich City after leaving Birmingham City.
