Leeds United star Raphinha has revealed his pride over being linked with Manchester United and Liverpool.
The Brazilian midfielder took England by storm in his debut season at Elland Road, sparking interest from the Premier League's biggest clubs.
But speaking on international duty with Brazil, the 24-year-old insists he has no plans to leave Leeds.
"It is difficult to explain how I feel when I hear speculation about giant teams like Liverpool and Manchester United being interested in signing me," he told Brazilian publication UOL Sport.
"Man, I grew up watching these teams on TV. I saw [Wayne] Rooney, [Ruud] Van Nistelrooy, Cristiano Ronaldo, but I also saw [Steven] Gerrard, as well as others like [Thierry] Henry, Deco, [Frank] Lampard.
"There are so many players of such quality that it is difficult to say if I mirrored one of them.
"I think I mirrored the league, you know? I loved watching it and dreamed of playing here."
He added: "Today I'm making people happy with my football.
"I am not only talking about the other clubs, but also Leeds, who were the ones who took a chance on me.
"They are all very nice, including the supporters who seem to have a great affection for me.
"I have four years remaining on my contract and I'm not even thinking about leaving here for exactly this reason: I am happy and making others happy."
