lackburn defender Christopher Samba has furiously dismissed quotes which implied that he was seeking a move to Arsenal.[LNB] The centre-back has long been linked with a transfer to Emirates Stadium, but he signed a long-term contract extension at Ewood Park in February.[LNB]Samba, though, was quoted as saying that it would be a 'big lie' if he said he was not tempted by the opportunity to join a club who play in the Champions League.[LNB]The Sun credited the 27-year-old as saying: "A player who has no ambition to play at a higher level has made a mistake and chosen the wrong sport.[LNB]"I don't know what is happening with Arsenal because I am not dealing with it and it's not my problem.[LNB]"At the minute I am still at Blackburn but it would be a big lie if I told you 'everything is good and I don't want to play in the Champions League'.[LNB]"I don't know what the board and the manager at Blackburn are planning or what provisions they have made for signing new players.[LNB]"It is difficult for me at the moment because I'm just waiting to see what happens and concentrating on my preparation for the new season."[LNB]But the angry Blackburn captain has denied making any such statement and insists the quotes and incorrect.[LNB]Samba wrote on his personal Twitter account: "The declarations about me are totally false - never said that.[LNB]"I'm a Rovers player and will never mention other clubs - it's disrespectful. Not happy right now."
