Kylian Mbappe has played down speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League, as Manchester United and Arsenal continue to monitor the French youngster.
The 18-year-old is one of the most highly-rated young forwards in world football due to the stunning campaign he is currently enjoying in Ligue 1 with Monaco.
He's scored 17 goals this season, with 11 of those coming in his last nine appearances.
Despite his rich vein of form, Mbappe, who has been likened to Thierry Henry, doesn't think he's doing anything special.
"I would not say that what I do is extraordinary," Mbappe said. "I would just say that I am able to do what I know best.
I would not say it's extraordinary.
"Extraordinary is a player who can score 60 goals.
There are not a lot. Otherwise I think we would overuse the term.
I would not say it's amazing but I'm on a good run."
Of speculation linking him with a move to England, Mbappe responded: "Sorry, but I do not look at what the English press say.
I remain very calm about the attention I get.
"I get up in the morning and I go to practice like everyone else.
I try to work to improve myself every day and I try to do on the pitch what I do during the training sessions."
