Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi has poured cold water on reports claiming he could be on his way to Arsenal in a £10million deal.
The Italy international has been linked with a move to England of late, with the Emirates Stadium regarded as a possible destination.
De Rossi has spent his entire career to date with Roma, having graduated out of the club's academy structure.
He insists he has no desire to leave the club after eight years of loyal service and has made it clear that any talk of an imminent exit is pure speculation.
"I've read about it (the rumours) in the papers, but there is nothing in it," said De Rossi.
"Roma have defined me as unavailable and I only wish to stay here.
"I was away on holiday and I read certain sums being mentioned, but I knew it wasn't true.
"The club has always defined me as unavailable and this is what I want."
