Northern Ireland midfielder Oliver Norwood is putting transfer talks to the back of his mind as he focuses on Euro 2016.

The Reading player has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Bournemouth, Hull, Burnley and Swansea all reportedly interested in the 25-year-old.

But the former Manchester United trainee is refusing to let the speculation distract him as Northern Ireland prepare to face off with Wales in the first knockout round of Euro 2016.

"I'm playing in the Euros, I'm just enjoying the experience and the buzz of playing at this level," he said.

"How could you let your mind wander on to other things? Whatever happens to me will take care of itself.
