Newcastle United striker Ayoze Perez has claimed both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in his services.
But the Spaniard, who recently scored a 93rd-minute winner against the latter, seems happy to stay put at St. James' Park.
"There is truth in the talk about interest in me. It's rewarding for me," Perez told Radio Club Tenerife.
"There is much truth in the interest from Tottenham and Man United, but my place is at Newcastle."
Perez arrived in the north east from Segunda Liga outfit Tenerife for £1.4m 18 months ago, and impressed with seven goals in his debut Premier League campaign.
The 22-year-old is only three shy of that tally this time around, despite starting in only 10 of the Magpies' top-flight matches.
United have only Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial as recognised strikers after allowing James Wilson to join Brighton & Hove Albion on loan, while Spurs are down to just Harry Kane and Son Heung-min after Clinton N'Jie was ruled out for up to three months through injury.
The Red Devils' need is arguably more pressing, with Rooney and Martial mustering three fewer league goals (6) than Kane between them.
Perez's contract has three-and-a-half-years left to run, and a £15m price tag was reportedly slapped on his head last summer.
