German Division 2 club don't want Gazza

Former England midfielder Paul Gascoigne is not on the wanted list of German second division club St Pauli, according to vice-president Stephan Beutel.

St Pauli are the latest in a long line of foreign clubs to be linked with the 35-year-old, with reports today claiming a move to the Hamburg-based club was on the cards.

But Beutel, who is also the club's general manager, said: "I don't know where the rumours came from, there's absolutely no truth to it.

"We have no interest in him at all. We didn't talk to him or his agent. I can definitely rule out a transfer."

Gascoigne, who was released by Burnley in the summer, has so far failed to secure a contract in the United States, New Zealand or China.
