Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback has said that he intends to remain at the club beyond the end of the January transfer window.

The 24-year-old, whose current deal expires at the end of the season, has been linked with moves to West Bromwich Albion and Swansea City.

However, Colback has insisted that he will ignore any transfer speculation.

"I expect to be here at the end of January," he told The Journal.

"The transfer window has nothing to do with us as players. It's the people above who sort that out and we just have to get on with it."

Colback has made 21 appearances for the Black Cats this season.
