TONY Pulis is brushing aside speculation over his future by chasing up a handful of possible signings for next season - including Denmark international Andreas Cornelius.
Pulis watched the 20 year-old striker in domestic action in Denmark last Sunday - and returned with a heavy cold for his pains.
He revealed today: "We have got targets. He was one that was mentioned, but whether we do any business or not we shall have to see.
"We have been monitoring four or five players in Europe and if our staff are watching players, then it's important I follow it up.

Pulis was in a defiantly upbeat mood - despite his ailment - at today's press conference ahead of Sunday's visit of champions-in-waiting Manchester United.
He said late fitness tests would be required on Matthew Etherington (back) and Marc Wilson (back and hamstring) after they failed to complete 90 minutes against Aston Villa last weekend.
But he said Glenn Whelan would be fit after returning to training following a trapped nerve in his back which kept him out of the Villa game.
Pulis acknowledged Stoke's predicament at the wrong end of the table following a miserable run of one win in 13 by stating: "It is in adversity when you show your strength of character and hopefully, fingers crossed, the lads will embrace and enjoy this challenge.
"It's tough times and you have to accept that if you don't win football matches you are going to be under pressure and the spotlight is going to be on you."
And Pulis admits: "We have to pick a team that can nullify their strengths and cause something at the other end of the pitch as well."
Pulis said chairman Peter Coates could not have been more supportive this week after popping into the training ground to speak to him and his players ahead of the United game on Sunday (2.05pm).
