Mikel Arteta insists he's staying with Everton.

The midfielder told evertonfc.com: "I always say - and I don't know how many times I have to say - that I'm so happy here and I have no intention to leave. As I always say, one day I would like to get back to Spain before I end my career - maybe one or two years over there.

"But you never know, at the moment I'm not thinking about leaving because I'm so happy here - and I've been very happy since I joined the Club. I want to stay here and I'm so happy and proud I am part of this Club."
