Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto’o has denied a move to English premier league side Manchester City in the transfer window, confirming his stay with Inter Milan for another season.

"The newspapers say I'm leaving Inter?" Eto'o told Inter Channel.

The 2010 FIFA Club World Cup Golden Ball winner revealed while speaking with the Internazionale’s president that he ignores all rumours of a planned move away from Inter Milan next season.

"I spoke with president Massimo Moratti after the Coppa Italia final victory against Palermo and when the president speaks, I can only say yes," Eto said.

The 2010 African player of the year has been chased by the English club who offered to sign Eto’o in a swap deal with the latter’s captain, Carlos Tevez.

The 30-year-old Cameroon all-time top scorer expressed his delight in being led by coach Gian Piero Gasperini, promising to repay the enthusiasm of the fans by winning on the field.

"It went pretty well. It was quite hot, but never as bad as in Milan right now. I am in good shape and we have the right atmosphere to start a difficult season,” the former Barcelona star concluded.
