The Swansea City midfielder has been linked with a move to join his former manager Roberto Martinez with Wigan weekend scorer Ben Watson linked with making the switch in the opposite direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

But whilst there is nothing more than general speculation on the subject, Leon says he remains focused on helping the Swans maintain and build on their existing fourth place league position.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking to the Western Mail, Britton said <\/span>\u201cObviously the chairman has talked about it now and there has been contact between the two clubs<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI know they have been talking and, with my contract situation, everyone knows I\u2019m free to talk with other clubs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019m committed here and 100 per cent behind the team. I\u2019m giving my best for Swansea, we are fourth in the league and that\u2019s where my focus is at right now.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a difficult one for me. I am still here at Swansea, I am under contract and I am enjoying my\u00a0football.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to think my performances show I\u2019m still fully committed even though these things with Wigan are going on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really know how far down the line it is or where the talks are at, so it\u2019s not a case of me definitely leaving anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve still got five months on my contract and, before Wigan\u2019s interest came around, my thoughts were focused on being here until the end of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat is still the case and I am still a Swansea player.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf something happens and the club agrees a fee, then you have to go from there. But, if not, I am fully committed to the club and trying to get Swansea in the Premiership.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cObviously Roberto knows me well,\u201d he said. \u201cSo he knows what I\u2019m capable of.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always nice to know that he likes me as a player and that he has made an enquiry to the club about my availability.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it the Premiership as well, something that has always been the dream for me.”<\/span><\/p>\n
