James Milner focused on England

England midfielder James Milner insists that he is focused on performing at the World Cup, despite speculation over his future with Manchester City.

James Milner has insisted that he is fully focused on performing for England, amid speculation over his future with Manchester City.

The 28-year-old midfielder, who has been linked with Arsenal, is said to be frustrated by a lack of regular playing time with the Premier League champions.

When asked about the transfer talk, Milner told the Manchester Evening News: "That's football, how quickly things move.

"We've had a great season with Man City, won the title and had five or six days to enjoy it and then it is gone, forgotten about and I'm concentrating on the World Cup.

"Once the World Cup is done, you are trying to win the league again so unfortunately you don't have that long to enjoy things. But football moves quickly and at this moment in time the only thing is the World Cup."

Milner joined City from Aston Villa in 2010.
