SC Freiburg defender Nico Schlotterbeck insists now isn't the time to consider transfer rumours.

Schlotterbeck has been linked with a move to England, where Newcastle United and West Ham are among clubs keen.

He told Sky Deutschland: "There's a bit too much talk about me and not enough about SC Freiburg. The club is so big that it shouldn't just be about me.

"All players deserve this. It's really getting on my nerves now.

"I don't know what that will look like in summer. There is definitely the possibility that I will stay here, I feel very comfortable here."
