Neymar focused on Santos

Santos forward Neymar has insisted that he remains focused on Santos, despite continued speculation with a move to Europe.

The 20-year-old won his second successive South American player of the year award, but reiterated his desire to remain a Santos player.

"Everyone asks me the same question but I have a contract with Santos until 2014 and I am happy here with my family and my friends," The Telegraph quotes Neymar as saying.

"[Being the best player in the world] is not what I'm looking for.

"My goal is to help Santos and the Brazilian team. To be the best player in the world is a consequence of that work."

Neymar has 17 goals in 27 caps for Brazil.
