Raheem Sterling has said that it is "flattering" to be linked with a move to Arsenal during this summer's transfer window.
The Liverpool midfielder has confirmed reports that he turned down a £100,000-per-week contract extension with the club earlier this season, and says that he will wait until the end of the current campaign before considering his future.
The 20-year-old told BBC Sport: "Yeah definitely it's quite flattering [to be linked], but I try to just block everything out in my head and just keep playing football and doing well in my next game.
"My next game is against Arsenal and I'll be trying to my best against them, I won't hide anything about that. I'm just happy to be playing football and want to do my best for Liverpool."
Sterling scored in England's 4-0 win over Lithuania last week before withdrawing from the national side ahead of their friendly against Italy.
