The Cameroon international full-back has been strongly linked with a move to Newcastle, but the club have told Sky there is no truth in reports they have made a bid.

And now Bedimo has insisted that he is not close to signing for anyone - although does admit contacts with a couple of Premier League clubs.

"In truth I was contacted by two clubs in England, but nothing has yet been concluded," the 28-year-old told Footafrica365.

"When the media announced my departure to another country the president rang me and was surprised and angry.

"But it was all explained and found it was a rumour from someone who was far from the truth."
