Reports surfaced earlier in the week that City had bid £15m for Watford Troy Deeney.
The initial story broke from Sun reporter Alan Nixon but the rumours came to nothing and with no official comment on the reports the matter was said to have been ended on Wednesday when Wales Online reporter Dom Booth and the BBC's Rob Phillips both tweeted to say that the trail for Deeney had come to nothing.
The search for new players goes on with the transfer window closing this coming Thursday.
