Everton midfielder Mikel Arteta says he is happy at Goodison Park and finds rumours over his future "a little tiring." The Spaniard tells Nuts magazine: "It's a little tiring. I've always said I'm very proud to represent this club and am happy here.

"We should be aiming for a top-six finish because I feel we're playing the best quality football for many seasons."

Having not played for Spain at senior level yet, the 26-year-old becomes eligible for England duty next year.

But he added: "My ambition is to play for Spain. Sorry - playing for England is not in my future!"
