Malaga attacker Apono is calm about rumours linking him with a move to the Barclays Premier League.

Both Tottenham and Hull had scouts at La Rosaleda at the weekend to take in Malaga's clash with Espyanyol and it is claimed that Apono was the man being looked at.

The 25-year-old joined Malaga in 2007 and has quickly become one of their prized assets.

He has two-and-half years left on his current contract, which has a buy-out clause of four million euros.

Despite the news that English clubs are keeping a close eye on the midfielder, he is refusing to get carried away.

"I am about the rumours," said Apono.

"At the moment, my only obsession is to carry on improving with Malaga."

The club also insisted they have not received any approaches, and a spokesman said: "There does not exist contact with any club about Apono."
