Adebayor plays down Milan talk
Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has played down speculation linking him with a move to AC Milan.
Reports from Italy on Friday claimed the Rossoneri were ready to launch an audacious £32million bid for the burly forward.
However, the Togo international - Arsenal's leading marksman with 30 goals last season - has consistently pledged his loyalty to the Gunners and it is understood that stance remains unwavered.
The 24-year-old - signed from Monaco in January 2006 - last month rejected reports he was out for a big pay deal somewhere else.
"I am very happy here. Reports which suggest I have threatened to quit are rubbish," he said.
"I love the club and the fans.
"We have a great set of players here with a fantastic team spirit.
"We have had a good season, but next year we want to go one better by winning a trophy."
Another player who has found themselves under the spotlight is Alexander Hleb, whose representative claims he is on the verge of joining Barcelona.
However, there has, as yet, been no firm declaration from the Belarus winger - signed from Stuttgart during June 2005 in a £12million deal - as to his future.
Meanwhile, Wenger's number one summer target Samir Nasri is expected to complete a £13million move from Marseille after Euro 2008, with both parties close to a compromise over wages - as ever the main stumbling block to a transfer.
Arsenal are also not yet out of the hunt for Cardiff teenager Aaron Ramsey, but face stiff competition from Everton and Manchester United, with the Red Devils said to be prepared to loan the young Welshman back to the Championship club next season. |
