Swansea City manager Steve Cooper has dismissed speculation he has become a target for Crystal Palace.

The Eagles are reportedly eyeing Cooper to replace Roy Hodgson, who will turn 74 in August.

"All of that's irrelevant," he told reporters. "Not even worth talking about.

"We're in this mad schedule and the only thing I'm focused on is the team and preparing for the next game. No sideshows and certainly nothing to talk about.

"We stick together and carry on with our work. Boys regrouped after the called-off game. No one was asking for time off.

"We know we had to get that extra work done on the weekend. We're focused on what's in front of us, and I'm no different."
