KEIRA WALSH brushed off talk about her club future as she eyes a landmark 50th England appearance.
The Manchester City midfielder, 25, wowed fans as she helped the Lionesses taste Euros glory this summer.
Barcelona are understood to have had two bids to bring her to the Nou Camp rejected.
Walsh’s inch-perfect pass set up Ella Toone’s opener in their historic 2-1 win over Germany in the July 31 Wembley final.
Her vision and deft passing have seen her become a sought-after player.
But asked about her future ahead of tonight’s Women’s World Cup qualifier with Luxembourg in Stoke, Walsh said: “I’m here to talk about the game. I’m not here to talk about what’s going on club-wise.”
Walsh heaped praise on England head coach Sarina Wiegman for bringing out the best in her.
The holding midfielder, whose family will be in the stands tonight, said: “I’ve found consistency, which I struggled with a little bit before Sarina came in.
