Shane Long has reaffirmed his commitment towards West Bromwich Albion.

The Republic of Ireland international has been linked with a move away from the Baggies this summer, with Lazio and Sevilla both said to be interested in his services.

However, the 26-year-old has insisted that he is "happy" to be playing his football under the management of Steve Clarke.

"I am happy here. I like playing for the manager here," he is quoted as saying by the Express & Star.

"He has been really good and I'm learning a lot every week, the lads are good and my family are very happy here so I'm not looking to move on.

"I'm just looking at this season and getting a few more goals before the summer, then we can go from there."

Long joined West Brom in 2011 from fellow Premier League side Reading.
