Johnson denies exit rumours
Everton striker Andy Johnson has denied rumours that he is set to leave the club as Newcastle and Middlesbrough are both considering a move for the frontman.
"I have seen the story in the newspaper and it's absolute rubbish," Johnson told the Daily Post.
"I have recently signed a new deal at Everton, which I was delighted to do. Of course there is competition for striking places here but I wouldn't have it any other way and neither would the manager.
"Stories like this make me really angry and I can only promise the fans that I love being at Everton, I am fully prepared to fight for a place in the side like everyone else in the squad and that leaving the club has never even entered my head.
"We've had a great season and I look forward to helping this club progress even more in the next few years."
