Adebayor cool on Milan talk

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has played down speculation linking him with a move to AC Milan.

Reports from Italy on Friday claimed the Rossoneri were ready to launch an audacious £32million bid for the burly forward.

However, the Togo international - Arsenal's leading marksman with 30 goals last season - has consistently pledged his loyalty to the Gunners and reiterated: "I am very happy here. Reports which suggest I have threatened to quit are rubbish."

The 24-year-old - signed from Monaco in January 2006 - last month rejected reports he was out for a big pay deal somewhere else.

He added: "I love the club and the fans.

"We have a great set of players here with a fantastic team spirit.

"We have had a good season, but next year we want to go one better by winning a trophy."
