The agent of Newcastle United's Argentina international winger Jonas Gutierrez has played down rumours linking his client with a move to Italy to join Lazio.

The 26-year-old has helped the Albiceleste reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup in South Africa, sparking talk of interest from the Serie A outfit.

However, agent Pedro Jimenez Bravo told lalaziosiamonoi.it: "Jonas is a Newcastle player and still has three years left on his contract.

"He players at Newcastle and is currently in the Argentina national side.

"No-one at Lazio has contacted me. A move to Italy in the future? At the moment he is only thinking about his current club."

Gutierrez joined the Magpies in the summer of 2008 from Real Mallorca and has since scored four goals in 74 appearances.
