NEW York Red Bulls frontman Bradley Wright-Phillips says he has not spoken to Cherries over a loan switch.

The Dorset club had been linked with the former Southampton striker by the Daily Mirror earlier this month.

However, Wright-Phillips says he is only focused on the Red Bulls' MLS eastern conference final second leg clash with Columbus Crew on Sunday.

He said: "If anyone starts scoring, people always link them to a team but I haven't heard anything.

"Besides, I wouldn't want a phone call about that just yet because we've got a big game for New York Red Bulls and this is something we've had our hearts set on since the beginning of the season.

"I don't think about that (a loan move) now. All I think is about the game coming up for New York Red Bulls."

Wright-Phillips was speaking to Sky Sports.
