Michu signs new deal at Swansea

Forward Michu has signed a new deal at Swansea City that will keep him at the club until the end of 2016.



The Spaniard, who has scored 16 goals in 28 games so far for the Premier League side, has put pen-to-paper on an improved deal that is effectively a one-year extension of his previous contract.



"It was an easy decision for me,'' Michu told the club's official website. "I am living a dream here at Swansea.



"I'm probably enjoying my football more than ever. It's easy to play with this team and tonight I have the chance to reach the first final of my career.



"I'm really happy here in the city with the people, the club and the fans. Everyone has been so nice to me since I arrived.



"I think the club are happy with me because they have given me a new contract. I am certainly happy with the club.''

Michu happy at Swansea

Swansea forward Michu has rubbished speculation linking him with a move away from the club, insisting he is happy in Wales.



Michu has made a huge impact since moving from Rayo Vallecano in the summer, scoring 12 Premier League goals.



His form has seen him linked with a possible quick-fire move in January, with Atletico Madrid one of the clubs mentioned but the 26-year-old insists he is not thinking about leaving the Liberty Stadium.



"Right now I'm happy, playing almost every minute and I'm very happy," he told Radio Marca.



"It is always nice that you get talked about with teams like Atletico Madrid, one of the largest in Spain, but now I am very happy in Swansea."



It has even been suggested that, with the likes of Fernando Llorente and Fernando Torres struggling for form in recent months, Michu could be in line for a Spanish call-up and Vicente del Bosque admitted this week he was looking at him given his goalscoring record.



"If that call comes, fine, and if not, then I just stay the same," he insisted.



"By now to have 12 goals is great, but above all I am enjoying what I am doing in Swansea. But here you have to battle as nobody gives you anything."



Swansea play Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday and he admits he would love to play at Wembley.



He added: "Why can we not be there at the end? Hopefully, it would be nice to be at Wembley."
