Curtis said he was happy at the club and wanted to help take the Blues back to the Championship and even the Premier League.

Speaking about the transfer speculation, he told The i: '˜Yeah! There are massive clubs out there but I've only just got here, I've only been here four months.

'˜I'm a Pompey lad, I love this club and the backroom staff and everyone have just been so kind to me, so lovely and welcoming.

'˜I'm not ready to go nowhere yet, so all that there is just rumours really. I'm proud to be here. '˜We all want to get back to that level (the Championship), that's what I want to do anyway and what I want to achieve while I'm here.

'˜Hopefully I can help get us up the table again, get back into the Championship and, you never know, one day back into the Premier League.'

Meanwhile, Curtis has been named in a provisional 36-man Republic of Ireland squad for the forthcoming internationals against Northern Ireland (November 15) and Denmark (November 19).
