Portsmouth's Terry Devlin has said interest from other clubs during the winter transfer window could act as a confidence boost.
The Northern Ireland international, 22, was linked with a move away from the club this season, prompting boss John Mousinho to announce the defender was not for sale.
And with Pompey finding themselves in the midst of a relegation battle, Devlin has insisted that his mind is solely on his current club.
"It shows that I'm doing something right so hopefully it should give me a bit of confidence," Devlin told BBC Radio Solent.
"My only focus is on Portsmouth right now and finishing the season strong."
Portsmouth are currently in 21st place in the Championship table, just one point above Leicester City but with two games in hand.
One of those is on Tuesday (19:45 GMT) when Pompey make the trip to Charlton Athletic, who have taken seven points across their past three games to put them six points ahead of their visitors.
Devlin added: "It's even bigger now [the Charlton game] after losing [to Sheffield United].
"We need to go there and get a good result and bring them closer to us."
