"When you play international matches, whether for Rosenborg or for Norway, you know people are watching the games.

"You have to deal with it if a bid comes in, but so far, I haven’t heard anything. I'm enjoying life at Rosenborg," he added.

Rosenborg are aware of interest in the player, who has ten caps for Norway, but are keen to hang onto him as they are two matches away from the Champions League group stages.

Eirik Horneland's side face a two-legged play-off against Dinamo Zagreb, with the winner qualifying for the group stages.
