Carlos Tevez has claimed that he is very happy in England and has no plans to switch clubs this summer.

The temperamental forward had a rollercoaster 2011-12 season, going AWOL for a large period and then returning to help the Etihad Stadium team win the Premier League.

Tevez has been repeatedly linked with a move away from the English champions, but he has stated that he is happy where he is for the time being.

"My biggest wish is to finish my career in the Boca Juniors shirt," he told Sky Sports.

"I am still thinking the same as when I left, I want to retire here. I am here for whatever Boca need.

"But the truth is that I finished the season very happy in England.

"I am feeling good, I have no desire to be thinking that I want to leave, my family are happy," he confessed.

Tevez's absence from club duty has seen him lose a place in the Argentina national set-up, but this is not a huge concern for the forward currently.

"I did not miss the Seleccion. I was happier watching from outside.

"I liked the team but for now I do not want to be there. When I am called I will be there, of course," he confirmed.
