Scott Dann has revealed that he is not thinking over his Birmingham City future.

The defender’s only concern is to get fully fit again for the start of next season.

Dann has been constantly linked with home-town club Liverpool after taking to life in the Premier League impressively.

But like central defensive partner Roger Johnson, who is also reportedly being eyed up elsewhere, Dann is not agitating to leave St Andrew’s.

And neither have they been rocking the boat to try and secure new contracts.

“Ever since I got into the team at Walsall there’s been speculation,” said Dann, who joined from Coventry City two summers ago for £3.5 million.

“ I just keep trying to get into the team and keep improving.

“Like any player I want to play at the highest level I possibly can and there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t try that little bit harder to make myself a better player.

“Going from Walsall to Coventry and then Birmingham and playing in the Premier League, it is a dream, especially having worked my way up the leagues.

“But I don’t think about anything like that. You have just got to keep performing on the pitch and if people take notice of what you do on the pitch then things are going to be said about you.

“I don’t take any notice and just get on with my job. All I’m thinking about right now is getting fit.”

Dann tore his hamstring badly in the Carling Cup semi-final at West Ham United.

He needed surgery and it has been deemed too big a risk to try and rush him back into action to help Blues battle against relegation.

Martin Jiranek stepped in to fill the breach and Curtis Davies was signed in January to bolster the options at the back further.

“This is the longest I have been out but it has gone quicker than I thought it was going to,” said Dann.

“The physios have helped me a lot and it’s about getting it right from now on and not rushing and making sure I come back stronger.

“It’s going well at the minute. I am in the gym doing a lot of strengthening work, building my muscles back up, and I hope to start running now.

“If everything goes to plan I will be back training in early May, but when you have been out for so long you need to train for a couple of weeks then get your match fitness back.

“In the position we are in the players need to be right on their mettle so although, all being well, I will be training before the end of the season, it may be too soon to play. But I’ll just take every day as it comes.”
