In-demand Matt O'Riley admits it's an honour to be linked with the likes of Leicester City - but only because it means he's playing well for Celtic.
The Denmark Under-21 midfielder has been an impressive addition for Ange Postecoglou since joining from MK Dons in January and just seven months on, he's already being mooted for a move back down south. Brendan Rodgers ' Foxes have been tipped as the favourites to land him having seemingly been impressed by his development at Parkhead.
It seems unlikely Celtic will let him go with O'Riley expected to play a major role in the season ahead. And speaking to Bold in Denmark about the interest, O'Riley played it all down - saying his relationship with Postecoglou and the "special" Celtic fans mean an imminent exit is not on his mind.
“I've heard a bit about the interest from Leicester, but it's not something I'm thinking about right now," he said. "The transfer window is quite crazy with rumours and interest. Right now though, I think Celtic is a good place to be.
"I have good friends around me, my relationship with the coach is good, and the fans are special. I feel that Celtic is the perfect place for me, but obviously it's great to have interest because it means I'm playing well."
