Emmanuel Eboue says he knows nothing about a possible move to Ligue 1 giants Paris St Germain.

Ivory Coast defender keen to fight for his place

Arsenal's Emmanuel Eboue says he knows nothing about a move to Paris St Germain after being linked with the club. The Ivory Coast international, who made just 17 Premier League starts last season without really impressing, has been tipped to leave the Emirates this summer. Eboue has confirmed he is unhappy at his lack of first-team football under manager Arsene Wenger, but points out he remains contracted to the Gunners. The 26-year-old has admitted PSG are a good side, but his preferred objective is to stay with Arsenal and fight for his first-team place rather than seeking a move elsewhere.

Unaware

"I'm not aware of any contact with PSG. They are a good team, however, I have a contract with Arsenal," he told skysports.com. "My ambition is to stay and play but because of a lack of first-team play, I'm not happy. I want to play." Reports in France claim PSG are ready to table a €7million (£5.9million) bid for the defender.
