Magnus Wolff Eikrem staying put

Magnus Wolff Eikrem has played down speculation linking him with a move to Stoke City by insisting that he is happy at Molde.

Recent reports had claimed that the former Manchester United trainee had emerged as a summer transfer target of Stoke boss Tony Pulis.

However, Eikrem has revealed that his sole focus is on featuring in European competitions for his current employers.

"I don't think about [the speculation] at all," Eikrem told Romdals Budstikke. "I have played for the biggest club in the world, therefore I am used to the attention.

"Since I have been at Manchester United, I won't join whatever club. My goal is to lead Molde to become a better club and play either Champions League or Europa League this autumn."

The 21-year-old joined Molde in January 2011.
