Jones focused on Blackburn

Phil Jones says it is easy to ignore the speculation concerning his future as he focuses on keeping Blackburn Rovers up.

The defender has established himself as one of the brightest prospects in the top flight over the past 12 months and is reportedly wanted by Arsenal and Liverpool in the summer.
He signed a contract extension until 2016 with Rovers in February and manager Steve Kean subsequently revealed there had been enquiries for the 19-year-old
However, with Rovers battling to stay up, the versatile England Under 21 international is not listening to the gossip about his future at Ewood Park.
"I can't afford to think about any of that, I just need to be concentrating on keeping Blackburn up," said Jones.
"I tend not to read the papers or listen to what the pundits say about me.
"My mates will tell me they saw me in the newspaper linked to this club and that club, but to be honest it goes in one ear and out the other."
