Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o has dismissed speculation linking him with a big money move to the Premiership this summer.

The 26-year-old Cameroon striker insists he has heard nothing of a possible transfer to the Premiership, despite newspaper reports in England linking the three-time African Footballer of the Year with a summer move to Liverpool.

However, Eto'o did not rule out a move to the Premiership in future.

He said: 'I have not heard anything. These kind of things are usually just speculation and don't come through to me. I am happy at Barcelona and will definitely be here next season.'

'I have no idea where I will be in a few years time, but at the moment I have a contract with Barcelona until 2010.

'There have been so many lies written about me. In fact, I would say that 99.999% of the things I have read about myself in the papers have been untrue.'

Eto'o fell out with Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard earlier this season after refusing to come on as a late substitute against Racing Santander.

However, the African forward insists he is happy at the Nou Camp and reiterated his desire to stay at Barcelona.

'Like I said, I am happy here. There is no problem, no crisis. The press can write what they want, but I am staying.'
