Super Eagles right-back Ryan Alebiosu has dismissed speculation linking him with a move away from Blackburn Rovers, insisting he will remain at the club beyond the winter transfer window.
The 23-year-old has enjoyed an impressive campaign with Rovers, attracting interest from Premier League side Everton and Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg ahead of the close of the January window.
The reports have sparked uncertainty around his future, with Blackburn currently battling to avoid relegation from the Championship.
However, Alebiosu has played down the rumours, stressing that his focus remains firmly on regaining full fitness and helping Blackburn secure their Championship status.
"I haven't looked into it much, I am focused on the club I am at," he told BBC Radio Lancashire, via Lancashire Telegraph.
"I have heard a few things but my mind isn't on that. I am focused on getting as fit as possible and helping the team.
The former Arsenal defender went further to shut down the transfer talk, confirming his commitment to Blackburn until the end of the season.
"Everything out there is not what I am looking at. I expect to be here (when the window shuts), 100%," he added.
Alebiosu registered one goal and two assists in 20 league appearances before linking up with the Super Eagles for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Following his return from international duty and recovery from injury, the full-back will be hoping to get back into action and play a key role as Blackburn seek a positive result against Hull City on Saturday.
