Jacobo Ramon insists he is fully focused on helping Como achieve success this season amid interest from Arsenal and Chelsea.

Ramon has developed a reputation as one of the most promising defenders in Europe having sparkled for Cesc Fabregas’ Como.

The 21-year-old played a key role in helping Como qualify for this season’s Champions League by finishing fourth in Serie A last term.

And Ramon has continued to catch the eye this season, recording three goals and two assists in 15 appearances for the Italian outfit.

Such has been the form of the Spain prospect that Arsenal and Chelsea continue to be credited with an interest in his services.

BBC Sport were the first to report of Arsenal’s interest in Ramon, while The Athletic broke the news of Chelsea’s admiration for the centre-back.

Ramon is also being linked with Real Madrid, who hold a buy-back clause which will allow them to re-sign their academy graduate for just €9m (£7.5m).

However, speaking in an interview with Spanish publication Diario AS, Ramon insists he is paying no attention to the transfer speculation.

Asked if he is giving much consideration to Arsenal and Chelsea’s interest, he said: “No, no, not at all. I don’t think about that - not in the slightest.

“It’s only November; there’s still a huge part of the season left. Everything has just begun, there’s a long way to go, and that’s all I’m focused on.”

And when pressed on whether he wants to return to Real, he added: “As I said, I don’t dwell on that.

“My focus is on performing as well as I possibly can - that’s what’s earning me opportunities like this, being called up to the senior national team.

“On a day-to-day basis, I’m fully concentrated on Como; it’s a historic season for the club.”

Uncapped Ramon hoping to make Spain debut this month

Ramon could make his senior debut for Spain when they travel to Czechia in the Nations League tomorrow evening.

Once the international break concludes, he will then look to pick up from where he left off with Como, who face Cagliari in Serie A on Saturday, 21 November.

Como are earning rave reviews for their football this season, with the high-flying Italians currently fifth in Serie A and fourth in the league phase of the Champions League.
