Robert Lewandowski insists he has no need to prove himself in Premier League

Bayern Munich superstar Robert Lewandowski claims he has "no need prove himself in another league" despite spending much of the summer linked with a move to England.

Lewandowski made the declaration as he collected his European Golden Shoe award for the 2020/21 season, during which he scored a record-breaking 41 goals in 29 Bundesliga games.

The Pole, 33, has prolifically led the line for Bayern since 2014 and reports in August suggested he seeks one final big transfer.

Lewandowski has many admirers in the Premier League and just two years remaining on his contract, but he shot down speculation by insisting he is fully committed to the Bavarian giants.

"I don't have to prove myself in another league," said Lewandowski as he collected the coveted European Golden Shoe trophy on Tuesday. "I can compete with the best from other leagues in the Champions League.

"I am 100 per cent focused on Bayern Munich, I don't think about anything else but my team."

Lewandowski suffered a heartbreaking defeat by Bayern in the 2013 Champions League final while a Borussia Dortmund player under Jurgen Klopp.

He moved to the Allianz Arena on a free transfer the following summer and ended his wait to be crowned European champion in the 2019/20 campaign, also winning the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal to complete the treble.

Lewandowski further poured cold water on claims he could leave Bayern by insisting he will continue scoring at a stunning rate for many seasons to come.

When asked if Bayern could sign Borussia Dortmund sensation Erling Haaland as his replacement, Lewandowski retorted: "I am still here - and I will be here for a long time!

Is Robert Lewandowski the best player in the world? Have your say in the comments.

"Age, these are just numbers. I feel very good, I have the best stats I've ever had. I know that with my body I can play at the top level for years to come.

"I'm like a good wine and I hope to get even better."

Lewandowski has started the season in typically-brilliant fashion with nine goals in six games in all competitions, including a double against Barcelona in the Champions League last week.

Meanwhile, Haaland has netted eight times in six appearances for Dortmund while also registering three assists this season.

The two marksmen are likely to duel to be the Bundesliga top scorer throughout the season, while the title race could be just as exhilarating.

Bayern lead the way after five rounds of fixtures with four wins and one draw, while Dortmund are third behind Wolfsburg with four wins and one defeat.
