    Downing happy at Boro

    08 Aug 2006 - 17:20:05

    Middlesbrough's England winger Stewart Downing has banished any lingering thoughts of a move away from the Riverside, following a summer of frenzied speculation.

    The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to Spurs for a couple of months, despite Boro being adamant that a deal was not on the cards.

    Downing told the Evening Gazette: "It's flattering to be linked with clubs, but I'm contracted to Boro for four more years.

    "I'm happy to stay, I want to stay and there's no reason for me to leave.

    "I said at the start of last season that I could achieve European football and fulfil my international ambitions at Boro and a lot of people laughed.

    "But we ended up in the final of the UEFA Cup, the semi-finals of the FA Cup and should have won that game, and I played in the World Cup.

    "We were disappointed with our performance in the league last season and we ended up concentrating on the cups.

    "We have a lot of young talent. The young lads are pushing the senior players and with a couple of signings, we will be strong enough to compete."
