When discussing a potential move, the 20-year-old told Doncaster Free Press: “I don’t take any notice.

“I’m just here to play football at the end of the day so I can’t be worrying about outside noise.

“I’ve heard about it, people have told me, and it’s nice to hear. But in the present I’m here to play games, to play football and hopefully I just keep performing well.

“Whatever happens in January or in the summer, that's what happens. But I’m here for the season so I’m just looking forward to that and hopefully just doing well here.”
