Claudio Braga has declared himself "100 percent a Hearts player" amid transfer interest this summer.
The Jambos attacker enjoyed a transformational season last term and was named Player of the Year for the club as well as the division as a whole. That form has since brought multiple suitors to his door with speculation a constant noise.
For Braga he has been determined to keep that noise in the background as he insists he is fully focused on Hearts and their coming Champions League qualifier against Sturm Graz.
The 26-year-old confesses his agents are dealing with his future should any club come in with the £8million asking price.
But he's concentrating on Europe as he has always dreamed of playing at the highest level. "I’m here 100 per cent. I'm a Hearts player," he said.
“We have a very, very important game, maybe one of the most important games for the club in the past years. I'm here and I'm completely focused on that.
“Of course, it’s interest, but at the same time, I can't focus about that while I'm here. I’m here, I'm a Hearts player and that's all you guys need to know and that's all I need to feel.
“I’m a Hearts player and I'm here 100 per cent. I'm trying to be as professional as I can and not care about that, because I leave that to my agents.”
He added: “I was really happy here last year. It didn't change nothing. I'm really happy now.
“Of course, there may be interest or not, but that's something that I can't control or can't focus on while I'm here. That would just be bad for me and for the club. I’m just focusing on Sturm Graz now.”
