The agent of Wigan Athletic winger Luis Antonio Valencia has played down talk of a move to Real Madrid.

Valencia's representative Diego Herrera is aware of the rumours linking his client with Real Madrid, but insists the talk is just speculation.

"I have heard the talk about interest from Real Madrid in the press, but right now it is just speculation," Herrera told skysports.com.

"There is nothing official and no-one has spoken to me.

"I have also heard about reports of interest from Tottenham and Aston Villa, but no-one has spoken to me about this.

"I have spoken to Wigan manager Steve Bruce and no-one has given him any formal offer.

"He is very keen to keep Antonio as he is one of the best players at Wigan.

"He is playing very well and he is happy there and happy with his team-mates."
