Karim Adeyemi brushed off speculation linking him with a move to Liverpool moments after scoring his first career hat-trick for RB Salzburg.
The 19-year-old is much sought-after after scoring 14 league goals this season, and helping Salzburg to the top of the Austrian Bundesliga as well as qualification from their Champions League group.
And he underlined his burgeoning talent by grabbing his first ever professional hat-trick on Saturday as he helped his side to a comprehensive 5-0 win over WSG Tirol.
Despite being named on the bench, Adeyemi wasted no time after being introduced as a second half substitute, scoring within four minutes of coming onto the pitch before going on to add another two in the final 10 minutes.

His hat-trick will only further grow his reputation across Europe, with Liverpool among those sides being linked with a move for him in one of the upcoming transfer windows.
But Adeyemi insisted nothing has been agreed yet as he vowed he will remain focused on his current club.
“As is so often the case, nothing is decided yet and, as I have said, I’ll also be at Salzburg next year, and that’s where my focus is on,” Adeyemi said.
Asked about a possible transfer, Adeyemi added: “As I have said, I have no tendency.

As well as Liverpool, Adeyemi has been strongly linked with a move to Germany, with both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund touted as possible destinations.
Reports in Germany have suggested an agreement is already in place for him to join Dortmund, although Salzburg sporting director Christoph Freund is adamant he won’t be moving on in January.
"Karim will finish the season with us, that is clearly the plan. I don’t know what could happen if Karim doesn’t finish the season with us," Freund told Sky Sports Austria in October.
