IFK Gothenburg attacker Yalcouye calm about Liverpool rumours

IFK Gothenburg attacker Malick Yalcouye is happy to duck transfer speculation.

The teen is being scouted this season by Liverpool.

Yalcouye told Göteborgs-Posten: "It has been good. I have been very well received by everyone who has supported me in a nice way. Everyone here treats me like I'm their little brother and tries to help me and gives good advice. It means a lot to me.

"I am not touched by so much of it (big club rumours). I only focus on my football and after the goal last time, Sindre (Tjelmeland, assistant coach) was quick to tell me to keep focusing on football. If I do, I will get better. I only have my thoughts here and now.

"Now it is the IFK that applies. For me, it is the development I get here that means everything and that I enjoy myself so much. I don't think of anything else."
