Shawcross unfazed by rumours

Stoke City defender Ryan Shawcross is 'not fussed' about rumours linking him with a move to Tottenham Hotspur. The centre-back is said to be a target of Spurs, but Potters manager Tony Pulis recently played down speculation that a bid had been made by their Premier League rivals. Shawcross, who enjoyed a fine campaign last season, is unfazed by the conjecture surrounding his future and has insisted he remains focused on preparing for the forthcoming term at Stoke. "I'm not really fussed about the rumours," said the 21-year-old stopper. "I'm a Stoke player, and until someone tells me otherwise, I'll still be a Stoke player," Shawcross signed permanently at the Britannia Stadium from Manchester United in January 2008 after impressing during a loan spell.
