Newcastle forward Ayoze Perez has confirmed that Premier League rivals Manchester United and Tottenham are interested in his services.
But while Perez is flattered by their attention, the uncapped Spaniard insists he has no desire to leave St James’ Park in the near future.
"There is truth in the talk about interest in me," the 22-year-old told Radio Club Tenerife. "It’s rewarding for me.
“There is much truth in the interest from Tottenham and Man United but my place is at Newcastle."
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are reportedly plotting a £30million bid to beat United to Wolfsburg left-back Ricardo Rodriguez.
The Red Devils have been linked with a move for the Switzerland international following injury to Luke Shaw, who is out for another three months with a double leg fracture.
But according to Spanish newspaper Sport, Real boss Rafa Benitez is hoping to get there first as he looks to add competition for Brazilian full-back Marcelo.
Rodriguez, who is thought to be holding out for a move to Barcelona, only recently extended his stay at Wolfsburg until the summer of 2019.
