Norwich City boss Daniel Farke says he resisted major offers ahead of signing a new contract this week.

Tottenham and Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen were both linked with Farke this summer, but his head was never turned before signing a new contract.

“It is no secret. I have turned down some offers that you might think would be a 'dream' move because I only want to do things I am 100 per cent convinced of," he said. “I never speak about any rumours or possibilities. Or what if. Our key people here, and that includes the fans, want me here. There might come a time when they want a different approach and at that stage I will leave.

“I stand for a certain set of values and a certain brand of football. But I am highly motivated to be here. The only time I want to leave here is if we achieve everything we possibly can and I feel the club is in safe hands, in a more robust shape and perhaps they can get a better manager than me.

“I have lifted silverware in my career and hope to do so again, but in the next few years it is this project and that is my only focus and my only concern. I don't want to speak about potential interest. The only thing that matters is Norwich, and we are successful here."
