Muzzy Izzet has spoken out about all the recent transfer rumours and said he's staying at Leicester.

He said:

"I am staying at Leicester. All the rumours and speculation this summer have been unsettling for me and the fans. So I want to emphasise there is no truth in the rumours that I am ready to leave the club.

"My family are settled in the area, and the five years I have had at City have been the happiest and most successful of my career.

"I signed a new long-term contract last summer, and there are still three years remaining on that."

Izzet missed the end of last season with a torn calf muscle but insists he is back to his best and is looking forward to the new season. He added:

"It was frustrating when I had to miss the last two months of last season with injury, but I'm fully fit again now and can't wait for the new season to begin."

Peter Taylor has also dismissed today's speculation that Tim Flowers is off to Villa (What is it with the Villa and Celtic stories?).

Taylor told SkySports tonight that he expects Tim to be starting in the first game of the season.

Tim himself has spoken out about his injuries and the new signing, Ian Walker:

"I feel okay, and although I know I have this problem I can get by with it.

"Obviously the arrival of Ian will create more competition, but that has to be good for the club. But I've never needed competition to drive me on, and I certainly intend to battle for that first team spot."
