Shinji Kagawa insists that he is fully focused on Japan's upcoming world cup qualifiers despite Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund reaching an agreement over his transfer.

Shinji Kagawa has said that he is fully focused on Japan's upcoming World Cup qualifiers after Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund came to an agreement over a transfer for the midfielder.

The deal is thought to be worth an initial £12m and could rise to £17m with add-ons.

Speaking after training with Japan on Tuesday, Kagawa told Kyodo News: "The transfer is not complete for the time being. I have yet to sign the contract.

"The team and I are fully focused on the next two games.

"It's better if we talk about [the transfer] after those matches. I want to focus on playing well over the next few weeks."

Japan take on Jordan in Saitama this Friday before travelling to Brisbane for a rematch of last year's Asian Cup final with Australia in a week's time.
