Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has dismissed reports linking the Gunners with a move for Bordeaux midfielder Yoann Gourcuff.
The Arsenal chief says he already has the ammunition he needs in midfield and has poured cold water on any suggested move.
He admitted that Gourcuff is a talented player, but said in no uncertain terms "we are not interested".
Wenger told Insidefutbol he "likes Gourcuff a lot" but said the club "already have sufficient cover in midfield".
Gourcuff is expected to leave Bordeaux in the summer transfer window and has also been linked with a move within Le Championat.
Lyon are said to be interested his signature but they are yet to meet Bordeaux's 26million euro price tag.
Lyon Club president Jean-Michel Aulas has spoken to clear up any misunderstanding over Gourcuff's abilities, saying: "Gourcuff is not worth 26million euros but (Bordeaux) tell me I do not appreciate (him)."
