Bournemouth starlet Marvyn Bartley has admitted he is flattered by the interest being shown in him.

The combative midfielder only moved to Dean Court from non-league Hampton and Richmond last summer.

He was awarded a new contract last summer and is now an integral part of The Cherries squad.

Skysports.com revealed how a host of scouts were looking at Bartley - who has admitted he is pleased to see his play attracting interest.

"The first thing I knew about it (the rumours) was when one of the fans came up to me and told me," Bartley told the Daily Echo.

"It's flattering to have teams coming to watch me and it obviously means I'm doing something right. But I haven't really heard too much about it.

"I'll just keep my head down and keep playing. Bournemouth gave me my chance in professional football and I still owe the club and the fans a lot.

"I'm enjoying my time here. As I said, it's flattering, but I'm 100 per cent committed to Bournemouth and helping us get out of the problem we're in at the moment."
