The Netherlands international has been one of the Premier League's outstanding goalkeepers during the opening months of the campaign, keeping seven clean sheets in his first 10 league appearances.
His performances have helped Brighton move into second place ahead of the November international break, attracting reported interest from Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Liverpool's goalkeeping situation has prompted speculation about possible recruitment ahead of next season. Alisson Becker is approaching the end of his contract at Anfield, although the Brazilian has indicated that he would like to remain at the club and that discussions over an extension are ongoing.
Verbruggen has previously been linked with Liverpool, including during his time at Anderlecht, but he is not allowing the latest reports to distract him from his current responsibilities.
Speaking to _NOS_, the 24-year-old made clear that he is enjoying his football at Brighton and sees little benefit in thinking about potential moves elsewhere.
“Right now we're doing really well at Brighton. So it would be a real shame to ruin that by living in the future.
> “I really try to stay in the moment, to focus on what is currently going on. I enjoy that, and that is also how I perform best.
“I think that is an evaluation you have to make when the moment is right. And that is absolutely not the case now.”
Verbruggen believes becoming distracted by speculation about the future can have a negative effect on performances. He is determined to concentrate on the demands of the current season rather than allow transfer talk to influence his thinking.
“If you start living in the future or the past, I think your performance goes down. So I try to stay away from that. For now, life is beautiful.”
The goalkeeper also acknowledged that his personal form has benefited from Brighton's impressive collective performances. Fabian Hürzeler's side have made an excellent start to the campaign, with their defensive organisation helping Verbruggen build an impressive clean-sheet record.
“I feel like I'm in the zone and I've hit good form. But of course, when a team is running well, it is easier for individuals to shine.
“It is of course always a nice feeling when you play well and reach a high level. But you are in the middle of a season that is so busy, so you try to focus on what lies ahead and on what you can do day by day.”
Verbruggen is currently joint-top of the Premier League clean-sheet standings alongside Arsenal's David Raya, with both goalkeepers having recorded seven shutouts.
Liverpool may continue to assess their options as they consider the longer-term future of their goalkeeping department. The club have already brought in Giorgi Mamardashvili and Ármin Pécsi, while a deal has also been agreed for Genk youngster Lucca Brughmans to arrive next summer.
For now, however, Verbruggen has given little encouragement to speculation about a move to Anfield. His immediate priority is maintaining his form and helping Brighton build on an excellent start to the season.
