Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has hit out at press speculation that has intimated he is ready to quit Emirates Stadium.

The powerful Togo international has enjoyed his most productive season to date, with an impressive haul of 30 goals having not gone unnoticed elsewhere.

Speculation has been rife in North London that Adebayor could follow Mathieu Flamini out of the capital, with Milan keen to reunite the pair in Italy.

It has been reported Adebayor has requested a huge pay hike after engaging in talks with the club's hierarchy.

This has now, though, been rejected out of hand by the player, who insists he is eager to win silverware at Arsenal.

"I am very happy here. Reports which suggest I have threatened to quit are rubbish," he said in a statement released on Friday afternoon.

"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."
