The 22-year-old Nigeria international opened the scoring in Thursday night's 4-1 friendly victory over Celtic at St James' Park, and then insisted he is going nowhere after a summer of speculation linking him with Arsenal.

He told the club's official website: "I will keep my mouth shut. I am not going anywhere, I am still a Newcastle player."

"I am very, very happy here, so I am not going anywhere."

Meanwhile, Dyer's days on Tyneside seem to be rapidly drawing to a close after he was left out of the squad for the Celtic game following Allardyce's admission that he could leave because of personal reasons.

The manager made no bones about his decision not to play the 28-year-old England international, saying: "We are protecting our asset. There's a big value in Kieron Dyer, the player that he is, so I am protecting the asset.

"He could have ended up playing and being one of the casualties like Nicky Butt or Steven Taylor, so it was my decision to protect that asset and not risk him because he is a valuable asset for Newcastle United."

Allardyce insisted no bid has yet been received, but West Ham and Tottenham have an interest, while speculation has suggested Manchester City are ready to make their move.

However, the latter option would not fit with Dyer's desire to be closer to his family, the reason he has given Allardyce for wanting to go.
