Steve Bruce is getting bored of the speculation linking Amr Zaki with a January transfer.

The Egyptian international is on loan at Wigan Athletic from Zamalek for the entire season, which makes the speculation linking him with a New Year move tiresome for the Latics boss.

"It does become a bit repetitive and boring," said Bruce. "It is Chelsea this week, Real Madrid last week, Liverpool the week before, Manchester City before that.

“I think the whole thing needs to be addressed really. He is ours for the rest of the season. All of this nonsense around him, I do believe gets to him a little bit. But I can't stop this constant speculation.”
