Highly-rated Udinese forward Luis Muriel is not being distracted by the consistent transfer talk swirling around him, his agent has claimed.
Muriel has seen a number of clubs linked with making a move for him, with English Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool firm fans of the Colombian, while within Italy the likes of Juventus, Inter and Fiorentina are all thought to be taken with the starlet.
In some quarters Muriel has even begun to be compared with the legendary former Brazil striker Ronaldo, talk his agent admits he has heard.
However, the 22-year-old is remaining firmly focused on his football and there are no official bids on the table for him yet, Helmut Wennin has explained.
