Owen happy at Newcastle

Newcastle and England striker Michael Owen has insisted that he is happy at the club despite rumours suggesting otherwise. Owen is rumoured to be looking for a new deal, and hopes that his form improves so that Fabio Capello notices him for his next squad.

"I know people talk about contract negotiations," Owen told the Daily Mail. "I'm in a similar position to a lot of players at our club.

"I'm settled in Newcastle and I am happy at Newcastle, although not happy with the results at the moment.

"Results aren't going well and, when you're not playing well as a team and individually, then individuals will not get picked for the national team.

"The new manager has only had one game in charge and that was a friendly, so we'll see what develops."
