Javier Hernandez says he is happy at Bayer Leverkusen and not looking to move in the January transfer window.

Reports in Germany had claimed Leverkusen want to sell him either this month or at the end of the season, and magazine Sport Bild reported Bayer want €25m (£21.6m) for him.

But the Mexico international, who has struggled for goals this season, has insisted he is settled at the club.

"Jonas Boldt and Rudi Voeller (Leverkusen's team manager and sports director) have said nothing to me about other clubs," he told magazine Kicker at Leverkusen's Orlando training camp.

"The only things I have heard are rumours. No one has tried to contact me or my agent. I am happy here.

"My only interest is to stay here at Bayer Leverkusen."
