Aymeric Laporte only thinking of Athletic Bilbao

French defender Aymeric Laporte insists that he is happy at Athletic Bilbao as speculation surrounding his long-term future is once again discussed.

Aymeric Laporte has played down suggestions that he is pining for a move away from Athletic Bilbao.

The 21-year-old, who has been with the Basque side since 2012, has long been linked with the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

However, the central defender has revealed that he wants to continue winning trophies with Bilbao after their Spanish Super Cup success at the start of the season.

"My name is mentioned in every transfer window and with a lot of teams ," AS quotes Laporte as saying.

"I've renewed four times with Athletic. I've done what I wanted, I've shown confidence in the club and them in me.

"Let's see if we can add more trophies. I want something bigger than the Supercopa de Espana and to get out La Gabarra [Athletic's celebratory barge], the most beautiful in Bilbao."

Laporte is currently on Under-21 duty for France.
