The midfielder says his focus is on helping the Tigers where he is happy to play his club football.
Midfiedler Sone Aluko has said he will not leave Hull City in the January transfer window.
The Nigerian has been linked with a few top clubs in the English Premier League even though he signed a contract extension in the summer.
He scored a brace in Nigeria’s 2-2 draw with South Africa last Wednesday as the Super Eagles failed to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
“I concentrate on the team that I play for and I don’t bother myself on media stories linking me with Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham,” Aluko told Goal. “ I’m with Hull and I’m happy playing for my team.
The midfielder, who was not listed in his team’s 2-1 home defeat to visiting Tottenham on Sunday, looked back from when he was first introduced to the Nigerian U20 national team in 2009 by coach Samson Siasia and scored himself high as an improved attacker for both club and country now compared with that time.
“Between 2009 when I featured for the Samson Siasia-coached Flying Eagles in the Egypt 2009 U- 20 World Cup and now - 2014 is a long time and I have grown as a football player from then and also gathered experience since playing for Hull City and the Super Eagles.
“I have played alongside and trained with players that have a lot of experience while playing in the Championship and now in the Premiership in England.
“So based on this fact, the national team coaches and my club coaches believe in what I contribute to the teams. I don’t also let this get into my head because I train a lot and work hard to improve on my game every blessed day,” he said
