Highly-rated Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga insists that he is no rush to make a decision on his future amid links with top European clubs.

Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has insisted that he is no rush to leave the Ligue 1 side amid speculation regarding a move to a top European club.

At the tender age of 18, Camavinga has become a mainstay in Julien Stephan's side and helped Rennes reach the Champions League group stages for the first time ever last season.

While Rennes' recent results have been relatively poor, Camavinga continues to impress and the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the France international.

However, the midfielder has affirmed that while he is flattered by links to leading European sides, he is happy to continue at Rennes for the time being and is not in a rush to make a decision on his future.

Speaking to reporters, Camavinga said: "The great clubs make me dream, but I cannot name one in particular for my future. We'll see [about a new deal at Rennes].

"We haven't set a date to discuss my future, I'm in no rush about it. There will be negotiations to keep me here.

"It would be a pleasure for me to continue at Rennes. I still have two years left on my contract and we have enough time to talk about it."

Camavinga has already turned out for Rennes 10 times in all competitions this season, and the youngster is expected to start on Tuesday when Les Rouge et Noir play host to Chelsea in the Champions League.
