Michu insists that he is happy at Swansea City and is looking forward to playing in Europe with the Welsh club next season.

Swansea City forward Michu has insisted that the club "do not need to worry" about speculation that he could leave for bigger things at the end of the season.

The Spanish forward, who cost the Swans just £2.2m from La Liga outfit Real Vallacano last summer, has netted 22 goals in his debut campaign in England.

Two of those came in the Welsh outfit's Carling Cup final triumph over Bradford City that guaranteed Michael Laudrup's side Europa League football next season, and Michu has stressed that Swansea is his only focus amid transfer links with some of the Premier League's elite.

"I've seen articles on the internet, but I'm very happy here," he told the South Wales Evening Post. "I only think about playing next Sunday against Fulham. I'm happy on the pitch and in this team.

"Swansea fans do not need to worry. I'm very interested [in having the chance] to play in Europe. We have to play two rounds before the group stage, but we're not worried about that. It will be the first time in Europe for me.

"I am very happy at the club and I want to say thank you to everyone at the club because we have all enjoyed this season."

Arsenal and Liverpool are among the clubs that are rumoured to be preparing a summer bid for the 27-year-old.
