Cattermole focusing on task at hand, not thinking about transfers

Wigan midfielder Lee Cattermole would prefer to focus on the task at hand, the European U21 Championship, rather than think about a potential transfer.

Cattermole is being linked with a move to Sunderland to reunite with former Latics boss Steve Bruce but has admitted to not giving it too much thought.

"I had a good year last year and he (Steve Bruce) brought me to Wigan," Cattermole told the Sunderland Echo.

"It's a bit of a shame, but that's football. Managers change, players change all the time so hopefully I'll be able to do the same for Roberto Martinez.

"I obviously really enjoyed last year and there's a lot of changes at Wigan - we've lost our manager and our staff now.

"But I'm going to concentrate on this tournament and get back and see what the situation is with Wigan and meet the new manager and see how it goes."
