Southampton midfielder Steven Davis insists that speculation over Jose Fonte's contract has not affected the defender's performances in training.

Southampton midfielder Steven Davis has insisted that the club's players are used to speculation about their future amid reports that Jose Fonte will not be offered a new contract.

Fonte announced earlier this week that the Saints had opted against offering him a new deal, refuting reports that he had turned down a contract from the club.

However, Davis stressed that it has not affected the defender's performances on the training field, having seen a number of high-profile players leave St Mary's in recent years.

"We are well used to it by now. In my time here we have sold a lot of players, a lot of big players, and it shows we are doing things the right way," he told reporters.

"It can only be taken as a positive that other teams are interested in players. I know we have a lot of quality in the dressing room and I'd be surprised if other teams weren't looking at us.

"We all know what the club means to Jose and what Jose means to the club. He obviously has a personal situation there which has not been discussed in the dressing room. He's the same character, he's doing his best in training every day and pushing the team on and that'll not change."

Fonte joined Southampton in 2010 and has gone on to make almost 300 appearances for the club.
