Conor Sammon ignoring transfer speculation

Derby County striker Connor Sammon has insisted that he is fully committed to the club, amid speculation over his future.

The 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Rams at the end of the season.

However, Sammon has said that he is determined to prove his worth to head coach Steve McClaren.

"I'm 100% focused at Derby. I'm really enjoying it and the way we've been playing recently, it's been great to be a part of," Sammon told the Derby Telegraph.

"I know it's a squad game. I'd love to be playing more but it's up to me to train hard and work hard and try to force my way in.

"That's definitely where my mind is and that's my ambition from now until the end of the season. I'm really happy at Derby and I'm enjoying challenging for my place in the team."

Sammon has scored four goals in 18 appearances this season.
