Newcastle, Aston Villa target Chester happy at Hull

Hull City defender James Chester insists he is happy at the KC Stadium despite widespread Premier League interest.



The Tigers suffered relegation from England's top flight last season and although there were very few positives from the painful experience, the performances of 26-year old Chester were encouraging.



As a result, Chester is being courted by a host of clubs this summer, including Newcastle United, Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion, suggesting that a quick return to the Premier League is being seen as a real possibility for the former Manchester United man.



Despite all the speculation surrounding his future though, Chester is not getting distracted and has insisted that he will be more than happy to stay put on Humberside.



Speaking ahead of Wales' Euro 2016 qualifier against Belgium, Chester said: "Other people's interests and nice comments are always good for the ego, but these are scenarios and situations which I can't affect until something changes.



"I'm more than happy to be at Hull City."
