Shay Given has admitted that the lure of Champions League football probably won't be enough to keep him at Manchester City.

And various clubs, including Tottenham and Arsenal, will be on alert as they search for a new goalkeeper this summer.

Given, 35, fears his form with Ireland will suffer if he continues to sit on the bench while Joe Hart plays in the first team.

'I'd like to be playing and I don't know what will happen in the summer,' he said.

'I don't know if being part of the Champions League will persuade me to stay there's a lot of questions I don't really have the answer to.'

Given, who left Newcastle for City in 2009, told the Sun: 'I know there's a lot worse clubs you could be at than Manchester City, but I don't feel match-sharp when I go to Ireland because I haven't played.

'It's frustrating, but the manager made his decision at the start of the season and that's his decision.'
