Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna has dismissed quotes suggesting that he would be interested in a summer move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

The 26-year-old France international was quoted in the French media as saying that he would be open to a transfer, but Sagna has rubbished such suggestions.

He told the club's official website: "I have seen the quotes attributed to me in the French media and I just want to put the record straight.

"These comments are not accurate and I'm not aware of any speculation linking me to another club. I am 100 per cent committed to Arsenal.

"This is a great club and I'm proud to wear the shirt. I'm looking forward to returning for pre-season training in July and preparing for the challenges that next season will bring.

"We have a great squad of players and I know that we can achieve something together at Arsenal - my focus is nowhere else."

Sagna joined the Gunners in the summer of 2007 from Auxerre and is closing in on the 100-appearance mark for the north London outfit.
