Napoli striker Dries Mertens says he's happy in Italy.

The veteran's deal runs to the end of the season and he was asked about a return to Belgium.

“You can never say never in football, but I am very happy at Napoli," said Mertens.

He also stated: “We must stop saying that the World Cup in Qatar is the last chance for Belgium to win something.

"It might be for me and I hope to be there, but there's a lot of talent coming through in the next generation too."
