Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite says he's ignoring the transfer speculation swirling around him.

The young stopper has been linked with Manchester United and Real Madrid this season.

But after victory over Burnley, Branthwaite said: “You have just got to block it all out.

"I think if you focus on the outside stuff, you get distracted from what you need to do on the pitch.

“For me now, until the end of the season, I am just focussed on winning games for Everton Football Club."
