Sunderland captain John O'Shea is ignoring interest from Tottenham.
He admits he was baffled himself by the talk, but is in no rush to leave the Stadium of Light.
"It was news to myself," O'Shea told the Irish press. "That's the way it goes at this time of the year, there is lots of stuff rumoured about players coming and going.
"It's just one of those things. It's just total speculation.
"I'm in the game long enough to know that and I'm more than happy with Sunderland."
