Striker Connor Wickham says he’s happy playing his football with Town, despite the constant speculation linking him with a move away from Portman Road. The highly-rated 17-year-old has been mentioned in connection with Tottenham and Liverpool in particular, as well as Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Sunderland and Newcastle.

Wickham, speaking at length with Radio Suffolk, said: "I just want to play as much football and score as many goals as I can, off the pitch isn't anything to do with me.

"I'm happy here, I'm playing week-in, week-out and scoring goals. I signed a contract just a couple of weeks ago for another few years and that's the way it is at the moment, I want to keep playing football at Ipswich Town."

The England U21 international frontman says he pays little attention to the speculation: "I don't really read the papers, I just see it if it comes on the news or TV or if my mates from school tell me.

"I know what's going on and it doesn't really affect me or faze me, all I'm doing is playing my football."
