Redknapp is thought to be the number one target for Newcastle owner Mike Ashley following the departure of Sam Allardyce.

But the Pompey boss told The News in Portsmouth: "To say a deal has already been done is absolute rubbish, I couldn't say anything else because that's the situation."

He added: "There has been no approach. All I'm doing is trying to get a couple of players in before the Sunderland game (Portsmouth visit the Stadium of Light on Sunday) but I haven't got anywhere with that.

"Nobody from Newcastle has contacted me and in any case, that wouldn't be allowed. Nobody has contacted Peter Storrie."

Redknapp also insisted that money would not be an over-riding factor in any decision over his future should Newcastle make an approach for his services.

"Money would not be an issue to me," he stressed. "I wouldn't go anywhere just for the money."
