Coleraine manager Oran Kearney has played down speculation surrounding Jamie Glackin's future at the club - labelling most of it "paper talk".
Glackin is understood to be on the radar of a number of clubs this transfer window including big-spending Larne.
Kearney described the 26-year-old's display against Linfield on Saturday as "outstanding", the playmaker scoring a brilliant third goal as Coleraine beat the champions 3-0 at the Showgrounds.
"Listen, Jamie is a cracking lad. We have been good for Jamie and Jamie has been good for us," Kearney told BBC Sportsound.
"When he arrived in from Crusaders he was damaged goods, I suppose, in relation to it didn't work out the way he wanted and he didn't make the progress he wanted.
"But he has flourished here, really flourished here, and he has been really outstanding."
Kearney praised Glackin for his performance against Linfield, especially under the media glare and increased scrutiny over his future.
The Coleraine boss added: "I think it shows you a measure of Jamie, because it is hard enough playing against Linfield at any time and put in that type of performance.
"But with all this stuff fluttering about at the minute about moves and all the rest, it can sometimes un-edge a player and maybe make it harder to focus and harder to play.
"But for me, I thought Jamie was outstanding today."
Kearney confirmed that there has been "a bit of interest" from Larne, but played down speculation linking other clubs with moves.
"From our point of view we have heard nothing. There has been a lot of paper talk," the Coleraine boss added.
"I am good friends with Ruaidhrí (Higgins) at Derry City and he was quite angry at the stuff that came out in the Sunday papers last week about where their link came from.
"We have also spoken to the Glens about the Mitch (Andrew Mitchell) deal and everything that goes with it.
"There has been a bit of interest from Larne but apart from that we're more than confident (of keeping Jamie)."
