Michael Owen insists he is happy to stay at Newcastle
United and is ignoring rumours about his future.
The Magpies have expressed fears that the England striker could
activate a buy-out clause in his contract and leave St James' Park
over the summer.
Owen has been linked with a reunion with former England coach Sven
Goran Eriksson, although the Swede has played down any
interest.
And Owen has revealed he has not been driving the transfer
speculation, and is looking forward to the season under new Magpies
boss Sam Allardyce.
"I believe that these can be good times to be at Newcastle, which
is why I am more than happy to be here," Owen told the Times.
"There has been plenty of speculation about my future, but I can
assure the Newcastle fans that I didn't start any of it.
"There was a lot of talk from other quarters and my attitude to
rumour has always been to ignore it.
"I don't really feel that I should be responding all the time to
stories in the newspapers and I certainly didn't want to be forced
into making comments.
"I prefer to let my actions speak for themselves and I just wish
there had been more opportunities to show the Newcastle fans what I
am capable of.
"I am sure that is to come this season."
