"I'm still here and still loving my time here," said Owen.

"I haven't been offered or asked for a new contract. Neither has my agent. It's pie in the sky."

According to reports, Manchester City were lining up a move for the Magpies striker in the transfer window.

Owen said: "A month hasn't gone by without somebody saying I'm going here, there and everywhere.

"It's water off a duck's back for me, but it must be frustrating for the fans reading about this club and that club. I'm still here, looking forward to continuing the season with Newcastle."
