Dean Smith poured cold water on reported summer transfer interest from Turkish club Fenerbahce around Norwich City's star striker Teemu Pukki.
Smith expects Pukki to be leading the line for the Canaries back in the Championship, after reports on Thursday the club's master marksman is being tracked by the Turkish heavyweights.
City confirmed recently they would exercise a 12-month option to keep the prolific striker at Carrow Road for at least another campaign.
But Turkish media outlet, Takvim, claim Fenerbahce have added Pukki to their summer watch list.
Pukki has been touted with a move to Turkey in the past and is sure to be the subject of transfer speculation this summer, after notching 10 Premier League goals in another top flight relegation season.
"I envisage Teemu Pukki kicking off the new season with Norwich City," was Smith's curt reply at Colney on Friday, when asked about the prospect of clubs trying to test City's resolve to hang onto the striker this summer.
Fenerbahce are on course to finish second in the Turkish Super Lig.
Smith also address the latest situation with Todd Cantwell, another City player who has had a 12-month option exercised.
Bournemouth negotiated a reported £11m buy option in their original January loan, but Cantwell was not involved in the squad as the Cherries' sealed a Premier League return in midweek.
"Well, from what I am led to believe we haven't heard from Bournemouth yet," said Smith. "Congratulations to them on getting promoted, Scott Parker, and obviously Fulham as well, going back to the Premier League. It is Bournemouth's choice now whether they want to take up the option on Todd or not. If not, then he comes back home to Norwich."
