Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook 'ignoring Liverpool links'

Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook has moved to distance himself from recent reports linking him with a summer move to Liverpool.

The 22-year-old, who started his career with Leeds United, is rumoured to have been on the radar of Jurgen Klopp's team for some time, while Chelsea are also thought to be interested in his services.

However, speaking to the Bournemouth Echo, Cook has made it clear that he wants to focus on his football, saying: "I had been out for a long time, so I am just focusing on Bournemouth at the moment.

"I am loving being back and playing football. I just forget about it [the speculation] really.

"You've just got to focus on your football here and keep enjoying it."

Cook has made five appearances for the Cherries this season after recovering from a knee ligament injury he picked up in a game last December.
