"When the window opens and there's a striker scoring goals and performing well, there's obviously going to be interest.
"It's flattering but I just ignore it all,” he added.

The goals he has scored, the level of performances.
“I think when you feel like you are building something that so far has produced but you think can be even better, then you don’t want to disrupt that. But, experience has taught me it can happen.
"The good thing is our stability as a club means there is no real pressure on us to do that. There may come a time in the future when the club has a decision to make. For the moment I don’t think we want to disrupt what we have, but strengthen it,” he added.
Sunderland, who are looking to strengthen this January transfer window, host Hull City at the Stadium of Light on Saturday evening, with the Black Cats looking to kick-start their promotion push in League One.
