SWANSEA defender Ben Davies has played down talk of a move to Atletico Madrid after also attracting interest from the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal.

The 21-year-old has impressed this season despite Swansea's struggles and his progress has drawn the attention of clubs across Europe.

But the youngster insists he is exclusively focussing on securing Premier League survival and is not currently thinking about a move.

He said: "The first I knew about Atletico was when a pal texted me the morning the story appeared.

"My phone beeped and there was this message saying, 'Have you seen this? Atletico Madrid?!' I went online to see what it was all about.

"It is nice to hear something like that because it clearly means you must be doing something right.

"It's got to be a boost for your confidence but it's not going to turn my head.

"I don't need something like that to make me concentrate on what's in front of me or suddenly up my game. I'm going to do that anyway, for myself and my club.

"I am ambitious about playing at the highest level I can but I tend to think that if you put performances in to the best of your ability, things will take care of themselves.

"For now, all I'm thinking about is staying up. My mum wants to organise a party for my 21st but that can wait. Once we're safe, maybe, but not before. I've told her to hang on for that, then we can have a proper party."
