Birmingham City manager Chris Hughton has advised talented teenage winger Nathan Redmond to remain at St Andrew's.
The 17-year-old impressed during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Wolves in the third round of the FA Cup and has already been attracting the attention of the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool.
Hughton is aware of the interest being shown in Redmond, but said: "With a young player like Nathan, there is always speculation. He's a young talent and he would be no different to any young talent at any club.
"His name is going to get mentioned and he is developing well here. In the games he's played, you can see what he is. He is a 17-year-old player that is still developing his game with the good and bad."

Birmingham are 5.00 to win promotion from the Championship this season and are 1213.00 to finish at the top of the table.
Meanwhile, Hughton insists he has had no offers for experienced defender Liam Ridgewell and is hoping to re-sign on-loan striker Chris Wood from West Brom.
He will be without midfielder Guirane N'Daw for the next month as he will be playing for Senegal in the African Nations Cup.
