"There was something about Liverpool coming in for me in January - and to go to a top club like that would have been fantastic - but I have to realise, it's about playing football and I don't think any of the moves were close," he told the Mirror.
"It's great having that speculation and it's very flattering. To have teams of that magnitude saying you're a decent player, it gives me a smile and flatters me a lot.
"For me though it's about putting my faith in Blackpool because without that club, my team-mates and the fans I wouldn't be Football League Young Player of the Year and the player I am now.
"My dream is to play at the top level and to achieve my ambitions, but it's all about timing and patience, so when you get to the top you are ready to go and not jumping too soon."
