Harewood agent denies Stoke talk
Marlon Harewood's agent has said Stoke City have not contacted Aston Villa about a possible move for the striker.
Press reports have linked the 29-year-old with a £2m move from Villa Park to the Britannia Stadium.
But Phil Sproson told BBC Radio Stoke: "To my knowledge nothing has been said to Aston Villa about Stoke getting hold of Marlon.
"That's all just paper talk at the moment but there has been conversations with other clubs."
Harewood has endured limited first-team chances at Villa this season and Sproson said the former West Ham man would be interested in a move from Birmingham if it meant regular football.
"I wouldn't say Marlon had a point to prove but he's certainly anxious to play football again," he said.
"If Stoke were serious about signing Marlon then he would be serious about talking to them."

English Premiership football NewsAmeobi pens new deal at Newcastle
Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi has approved a contract extension that will keep at St James' Park until 2012.
The 27-year-old, who began his career at Newcastle in 2000, has scored three goals in 14 matches this term.
Last season, he had a loan period at Stoke, but has not scored a short passage in a project and move to Ipswich collapsed when he failed a medical.
"I had not played for some time and had to prove to myself - I think I've done," he told the club website.
Ameobi added: "Now I am delighted to play many more games for Newcastle, which was probably not a few months ago.
"I think I can do and now my future is in the order I can focus on the right on the ground.
"I am confident I can do and the club are also, by which they expressed their faith with the contract. It is now up to me to prove it. "
Injuries have marked the progress of Ameobi and he spent five months on the sidelines after hip surgery in November 2006.
Nearly half of his 244 appearances were as a substitute.
But Newcastle boss Joe Kinnear has several other injuries on his team and wants to keep his players and make new additions.
Ironically, Stalemate Ameobi missed the FA Cup against Hull at the weekend with a paralyzing injury, but he hopes to return for the league match at home against West Ham on Saturday.
Speaking of his contract extended, Ameobi, who need more than one goal to reach 50 for the club, said: "I am delighted to sign a new agreement of my future and commit to Newcastle United.
