Atletico Madrid's Koke to snub Premier League switch

Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke says that he wants to honour his contract, despite reports linking him with Manchester United and Chelsea.

Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke has insisted that he has no desire to leave the Spanish club following reports of interest from the Premier League.

Manchester United are said to have been keeping track of the 22-year-old, while Chelsea have also been linked with a summer swoop for the player.

However, Koke, who has played a role in Atletico's La Liga title charge this season, has claimed that he wants to honour his contract, which expires in 2018.

"I have a long contract and I am not thinking about leaving," Koke told Minuto 116. "Atletico is my home. I am happy that [Diego] Simeone has confidence in me and I want to keep working for him for many years."

Atletico are currently second in the league table, three points behind leaders Real Madrid.
