Man City striker flattered by Real Madrid link

But the former Arsenal striker insists he is focused on fighting for his place at Eastlands.

“I heard about the rumours, but I am relaxed and I am fighting in training to get my place back,” he explained.

“Until the next window you never know, and Real and Mourhino are big things in football so you take notice of them, but I want to score goals for City, so let’s wait and see.

“I am a big player so I want first-team football like everyone, not just to take my salary.”
