Reading striker Long staying calm over Newcastle, Villa rumours

Shane Long insists he's not angling for a move away from Reading.

The Irish striker has been linked with West Ham United and Newcastle United in recent weeks.

On the transfer speculation, Long told the Daily Mail: "It's always nice to hear good things but I try not to take too much notice of it. I just concentrate on scoring goals for Reading. If anyone wants to take notice then that's fine.

"I've always said I want to play to the highest level and obviously the next step is the Premiership. But I want to get Reading back there."
