Newcastle United fullback Kieran Trippier admits everyone in the squad is on the same page.
The Magpies are pushing to ensure they hold onto their best talents and strengthen their squad in the summer.
Trippier, who himself has been linked with a move away, spoke about Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak's futures.
On such rumours, Trippier said: "For me I'm old and experienced enough to know not to listen to you guys who try to link them away!
"I'm only joking about that. It is what it is, it's media, you've got to forget about it internally because we can't be interested in it. Of course these are our main players, you have to keep them if you want to move forward as a club.
"The perfect manager, the perfect ownership who want to go in the right direction. Again it's not something I'm worried about."
