Leicester manager Claude Puel refused to be drawn on speculation linking his assistant manager Michael Appleton with the West Brom vacancy.
The Baggies sacked manager Alan Pardew recently after his brief tenure left the Black Country outfit staring relegation in the face.
Appleton, a former Albion player and coach, is reportedly among the leading contenders to replace Pardew but Puel is paying the rumours no mind.
'This is all speculation,' he said.
