He was watched by scouts from Feyenoord and Real Betis as he netted against FC Kosice in Slovan's final game of the campaign.

But he inisists he doesn't know what the future holds for him.

He said: "I am proud to be the joint top scorer in the league, but I should have scored more goals."If I scored all my chances, I wouldn't be playing for Slovan Bratislava.

"I think I'll be here at the beginning of the pre-season training.

"I'm pleased and flattered by the interest from abroad, but I'm primarily focused on what the reality is. I'm at home and I'm happy here.

"We'll see if a good offer comes along for all parties.

"I could have done better, but I think I have enjoyed this season. I am pleased that we as a club have achieved our goal by reaching the Champions League. It was a brilliant experience and now we will try to repeat something similar."
