Aston Villa striker John Carew insists he is happy at Villa Park and has no intention of leaving the Premier League club in the summer.

The 29-year-old Norway international has suffered a number of injury problems since heading to England in January 2007 from Lyon, but says that he is more than happy with Villa.

He told the Express & Star: "I am very happy here, I don't want to leave this club. I love being here, the fans, the players.

"I don't see any reason why I would leave. I am enjoying my football and I'm happy to be contributing.

"If I didn't love it here you would see that on the pitch. I just want to continue and to do well the whole of next season and avoid all the injuries which hindered me.

"I have scored a lot this season and if I hadn't been out for months, it could have been a lot more this time around."

Carew has scored 29 goals in 74 appearances for Villa to date.
