Johnson sticking with Toffees

Andy Johnson insists there is “no way” he is leaving Everton this summer.

Andy Johnson insists there is “no way” he is leaving Everton this summer.

The England striker, 26, has been linked with a big-money move to West Ham but claims he has never contemplated quitting Goodison Park.

He said in the Sun: “There is no way I’m leaving. No way at all. It never crossed my mind when I saw the stories. It was just speculation and you can’t stop that.

“I suppose the speculation is good because it means you are doing your job properly. But the speculation was there for Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta as well.

“It was silly. Stupid figures and stupid money. Yet it hasn’t unsettled any of us. Tim and ’Micky’ are sorted and I’ve got four years left on my contract. I’m not going anywhere.”

Johnson has been a big hit on Merseyside since joining Everton from Crystal Palace for a club-record £8.6m last summer.
