Raul Albiol's agent has rejected reports that Arsenal have made an offer for the Valencia defender.

The 22-year-old centre-back is currently representing Spain at Euro 2008 after an impressive 2007/08 season with his club.

Press reports had claimed that Gunners manager Arsene Wenger was set to offer a fee in the region of £5million for Albiol's services.

However, Albiol's agent, Manuel Garcia Quilon, has rubbished the rumours, insisting the player is settled at the Mestalla.

"I have not received a call from Arsenal, or any other club," Quilon told AS.

"This story is not true. The youngster is very concentrated on his work with Spain at Euro 2008 and is very content at Valencia."
