Toulon wing Julian Savea has dismissed speculation that he could be set for a move to the Kings.
Rapport newspaper claimed that Savea, who has been struggling for form since joining Toulon last year, could be the first of a number of high-profile signings by new Kings high-performance director Robbie Kempson.
The article went on to state that the Kings would have to release at least 20 contracted players to secure the services of Savea and club teammate Jacques Potgieter.
However, Savea denied the report through social media on Monday.
sorry to disappoint guys but this isn’t true for me. https://t.co/dsn57H5JRJ

The 28-year-old’s form led to a public falling out with Toulon owner Mourad Boudjellal, who told French radio in February that he wanted a DNA test for the player.
