Espanyol fullback Aaron Martin admits he's flattered by big club interest from the Premier League.

Manchester United and Manchester City are both tracking the Spain U21 international.

“It's flattering knowing that other teams follow you but I only think of Espanyol; I'm very happy to be here," Martin said in a press conference when asked specifically how the interest from both Manchester clubs has affected him.

“I have been playing for a year in the top flight. I feel very comfortable with my teammates and they help me a lot like the coach and that makes me feel better every year.

“I am focused on playing every week well, helping the teammates and doing a good job I work every day to be able to play every weekend. I try to work as hard as I possibly can in the training sessions and it is the manager who decides who plays. I need more intensity and it's an aspect that I have to improve.

“I'm still the same guy [than before being promoted to the first-team]. The success is not going to my head. I am keeping my feet on the ground. I keep working every day to convince the manager to play me. I think I have improved in defence [since last season]."
