Portsmouth forward Ronan Curtis has been linked with Leeds United and Sheffield United.
Portsmouth forward Ronan Curtis has told iNews that he is surprised to see that Leeds United and Sheffield United are interested in signing him.
Curtis, 22, starred in Ireland with Derry City, and headed over to English football this past summer as Portsmouth swooped to land him.
The winger, who can also play up front, has taken League One by storm so far, and is in red-hot form with six goals and six assists in just 14 appearances.
Pompey fans have a new hero in Curtis, and he has been called up to the Republic of Ireland senior squad this season, with his stock rising and rising.
The problem for Portsmouth is that Curtis is now attracting major interest ahead of the January transfer window, with TEAMtalk reporting last week that Leicester City, Leeds United and Sheffield United are all keen.
Portsmouth would be able to expect a huge profit on the £100,000 they paid for Curtis just six months ago, but the man himself isn’t looking to move on yet.
Curtis has today suggested that he can’t believe there is already interest in his signature, but he loves Portsmouth and is not ready to leave at all, re-affirming his commitment to Pompey.
“Yeah!” said Curtis when asked if the interest surprised him. “There are massive clubs out there but I’ve only just got here, I’ve only been here four months. “I’m a Pompey lad, I love this club and the backroom staff and everyone have just been so kind to me, so lovely and welcoming. I’m not ready to go nowhere yet, so all that there is just rumours really. I’m proud to be here,” he added.
