Gotze delighted with Dortmund life

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mario Gotze dismissed speculation linking him with a move to Arsenal or Bayern Munich after netting twice in the 5-1 win over Wolfsburg.

Gotze last week hinted that he would leave if the club failed to qualify for the Champions League next season, but having helped lift the defending champion to second in the Bundesliga, he says he could not be happier where he is.

"I am really happy here," he told Sky television. "That is all that counts.

"I have a contract here until 2014 and I am more than happy.

"I think you can see that too and that is why I am happy to be here."

Gotze also claimed that Dortmund's rise to second after a difficult start is not purely down to his return from suspension.

"We have so many amazing players in our side who try to push themselves to the limits in every training session and every game," he said.

"We try to impose our football and every player contributes to that. That is why I am enjoying myself so much here."

Wolfsburg coach Felix Magath is certainly not enjoying himself at present as his side lost its seventh game of the season.

"I think it's fair to say we did not want to lose as heavily as this today," he said.

"We started well but then conceded. We abandoned our defence today, although I would remove Chris and Diego Benaglio from my criticism."
