It had been suggested that the 30-year-old former Leeds striker was about to announce an early retirement from the game, but he has denied these claims.

"To say that I haven't been motivated to play is absolute nonsense," said the Manchester City striker. "You want people to remember you as a good player and not one who is slipping down the ranks. I don't want people losing respect for me as a player. I want to go out in every game and perform to the highest level. I have no retirement plans. I've had a lot of injuries but I want to continue playing."
