Sunderland young gun Jordan Henderson admits he is not getting distracted by links with Premier League rivals.
The 20-year old midfielder has come on in leaps and bounds this term, becoming a key Black Cats performer, as well as grabbing his first England senior cap but he is not getting carried away with speculation suggesting clubs such as Manchester United are keen on his services.
"It doesn't bother me, to be honest. I am not sure what the crack will be, but I am loving my football here at the minute," he said.
"I have always wanted to play for this club and I am loving every minute."
Henderson admits 2010 was a great year for him but said he cannot rest on what he achieved and will what he can to help keep Sunderland in a strong position on the table.
"I will look back on it very happily, to be honest. I have achieved some goals I have set myself, and hopefully I can do the same this year and it will be even better," he added.
"But I can't really think about it too much and dwell on it. It's gone and I need to concentrate on the future now."
