Hleb denies exit rumours

Belarus midfielder Alexander Hleb has moved to deny speculation that he is looking to leave Arsenal this summer. Inter Milan and Barcelona have been linked with the player, but now he has moved to strenuously deny the rumours he is heading for the Emirates exit door.

"I have a contract at Arsenal until 2010 and now only think of the game against Germany," he told Spox.com.

"I have also read [that I have said I want to leave], but I do not know who has written it. That is nonsense.

"I have also read that I wanted to move because Arsenal would win nothing, this too is nonsense.

"But I would really not like to comment on the issue really because there is nothing more to say, because the club means so much to me.

"I have learned so much from Arsene Wenger. This man has always supported me and given me the chance to come to Arsenal. I would therefore never say anything negative about Arsenal.

"If I'll go, then only in a different league, in any case, in England, there is only Arsenal for me."
