Sunderland have dismissed claims that striker Kenwyne Jones is set to sign for Liverpool on loan.

It was today reported that the 25-year-old Trinidad and Tobago international was due at Anfield for a medical as Reds boss Rafael Benitez seeks a temporary replacement for the injured Fernando Torres.

However, sources at Sunderland said there is "not a chance" of that happening after weeks of speculation over the former Southampton frontman's future.

Both manager Steve Bruce and chairman Niall Quinn have in recent days stated Sunderland's intention to hang on to the man former boss Roy Keane signed for £6m in August 2007.

However, it is believed the Black Cats might be prepared to consider an offer for Jones, but only at the right price. Birmingham made an enquiry earlier in the transfer window which has gone no further.

Jones once again partnered Sunderland's leading scorer Darren Bent in Saturday's 7-2 Premier League drubbing at Chelsea.
