Ipswich Town keeper Vaclav Hadky admits it's 'nice' to hear his name linked to interest from other clubs - but insists he's fully focused on giving his best for the Blues.
The Czech stopper has been one of the best keepers in the Championship since stepping in for the injured Christian Walton on the eve of the season.

Last week it was reported that Scottish giants Celtic are among a number of clubs interested in the 33-year-old, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
His agent Martin Stepanovsky duly told the Daily Record that the priority was to 'agree on an extension and advance to the Premier League.'
And, asked about the speculation ahead of today's trip to Stoke City, Hladky said: “If you are in a good position and playing well in the Championship and obviously the team is doing well as well, that’s something which makes other clubs interested.
“I think everybody in this squad can go and play anywhere else. It’s nice, it’s good to hear it and listen, I’m just going to carry on and I want to push more.
“I believe there is a lot more to deliver and it’s great to be in that position.
“My focus is just on Stoke – that’s all that I can say now.”
Hladky was also asked if he'd thought beyond the end of this season and where he'd like to be.
“Yeah, for sure," he replied.
"Obviously it’s great to be in this position and I want to just deliver everything that I’m capable of every game.
“The next one is Stoke and I don’t want to think too much ahead. I’m always focused on the next one, that’s for sure – and that’s what we do every week.”
