Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards says midfielder Hayden Hackney is "fully committed" to the club despite being linked with a number of Premier League teams.
The 23-year-old England Under-21 international featured in Boro's 3-3 pre-season draw at Mansfield Town on Saturday.
"As far as I know and I'm aware at the moment, he's here and that's why he's out playing on the pitch," Edwards told BBC Radio Tees.
"He's fully committed, he loves this football club."
Another player who featured during the match was defender Darragh Lenihan, making his return to competitive football after almost two years out.
