Juan Cuadrado dismisses Arsenal links

Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado has admitted that he is keen on extending his contract with the Italian outfit, as he ruled out a switch away from the club.

Cuadrado has had an excellent start for La Viola this season, and this has linked him with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks, with scouts having a close eye on him last month.

The Colombian International who has also been linked with the likes of Juventus and Inter Milan, has dismissed a switch away from the club, as he welcomed preliminary talks over a fresh deal.

"I am happy and relaxed at Fiorentina." He said. "Now we are working on a contract extension. I am ready to stay here."

The 25-year-old has scored four goals in 12 appearances for La Viola this season.
