West Brom striker Shane Long has played down transfer speculation linking him with a move away from the Hawthorns and insists that he is going nowhere in the January transfer window.
The player has clearly told all potential suitors to forget about landing his services and has said that he is fully focused on West Brom, and is not planning to go anywhere anytime soon.
The in-form striker has been clinical in front of goal this season, and is one of the many players that have helped West Brom manage their best ever start to a Premier League campaign.
Long is currently the club’s highest scorer, and has helped his side manage wins against the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Republic-of-Ireland-c2987 striker.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 have been the most strongly linked club, especially because of their need for a lone striker and target man to play ahead of Luis Suarez. Last week, Baggies boss Steve Clarke rubbished rumours regarding a potential move to Anfield and labelled
it as lazy journalism. The manager insisted that the club intends on holding to all its star players and letting anyone go will only undo all the hard work they’ve done.
Long has also quashed all transfer speculation and insists that he wants to do nothing with such distractions and is focused on continuing West Brom’s impressive start to the campaign.
When asked about the link with Liverpool, the player said:
“I’m not looking at that. I just concentrate on my football. I am enjoying playing this role. It’s a lone striker’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684, but when you’ve got the likes of Zoltan Gera and James Morrison behind you, it’s very enjoyable.”
“I’m happy at the moment and I’ll let the rumours take care of themselves. It’s flattering but West Brom is a big club as well and I’m enjoying being part of what should be a great season.”
The striker refused to get concerned over the team’s three-game losing spree and said that they will bounce back. He added:
“We don’t dwell on it too much. We will learn from our mistakes and get back to winning ways soon.”
