MAREK HAMSIK has disappointed many clubs across Europe after announcing that his future lies only with Napoli. Chelsea and Arsenal were monitoring the talented central midfielder who still has 3 years left on his current contract.

"I never thought about leaving Napoli," Hamsik told La Gazzetta dello Sport."Over the last two months I was at home in Slovakia and didn't even have the internet at my disposal. I stayed away from everything.

"I decided to take a break by isolating myself. I only thought about my partner Martina and my son Christian. Milan? I never let the reality of Napoli out of my sights. I'm focused on Napoli and the new season ahead. I don't want to think about my long-term future.

"The future doesn't interest me right now, it wouldn't be right with regards to President Aurelio De Laurentiis who believed in me from the start.

"My heart just can't wait to hear the Champions League anthem at the Stadio San Paolo. I love Napoli, I love the Neapolitans, I love the city. I never thought about leaving."
