Tottenham striker Robbie Keane is delighted to just concentrate on football now the summer transfer window has slammed shut.
Keane, 30, was linked with moves to Besiktas, Aston Villa and West Ham United all summer after falling down the Spurs pecking order. Despite the rumours, he has remained in manager Harry Redknapp's squad.
The Republic of Ireland striker is glad that all the back page headlines are behind him for the next few months.
He said: "It doesn't really affect me. For a long time now since I started off, there's always speculation, but unfortunately, I can't help speculation.
"I can just concentrate on what I am doing. I was quite relaxed about the transfer window, I wasn't really too bothered.
"All the clubs are probably glad now that it is closed and everyone can concentrate on playing football.
"There won't be a lot of speculation now for at least a couple of months."
The ex-Liverpool attacker still remains behind Jermain Defoe, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Peter Crouch and has made two substitute appearances this campaign. Keane hopes to get over a niggling knee injury and stake his claim for a starting spot in the coming weeks.
"It's only really been two weeks, the season has only just started," he stated.
"I missed the Stoke game through the injury, but I had a good pre-season.
"I felt good, I felt sharp and that was only really a few weeks ago.
"But of course, every player wants to play in every game they can, and I will certainly look forward to these two games coming up."
