EMMANUEL EMENIKE: I Am Happy In Spartak Moscow

Emmanuel Emenike will continue playing in the Russian Premier League, he has told the media in the country.

Heavily linked with a move away from Spartak Moscow this summer, the Nigeria international showed his loyalty to the club by putting pen to paper on four- year deal last month.

Emenike was quoted as saying by bobsoccer.ru : ''All this talk about the clause in my contract, ostensibly to allow the Turkish club to buy me for 10 million euros - is nonsense. Up to a point I liked Fenerbahce , but now I'm happy in Spartak Moscow and the new contract - that's confirmation.''

Adds the former Karabükspor ace: '' I do not know how much time is spent in this team. Maybe two years, and maybe all four. But in any case, I can not leave without having done for Spartak Moscow and its fans something very important. They are tired of waiting for trophies. My mission - to make their dreams a reality.''

The 25-year-old was reportedly on the wishlist of Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Lazio in the summer transfer window.
