Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted defender Bacary Sagna remains committed to the club.
The French full-back recently criticised the north London club’s transfer policy following the sale of last year’s Premier League top goalscorer Robin van Persie.
However, the 62-year-old has expressed his belief that the former Auxerre man has no desire to leave the Emirates Stadium.
“Bacary loves the club and I think he will stay here,” he told the club’s official website.
“Bacary’s interview doesn’t reflect the love he has for this club. He has always given full commitment.”
The 29-year-old joined the Gunners in 2007 following an £8.8 million move from Ligue 1.
The France international missed this summer’s European Championships after sustaining a broken leg in a Premier League clash with Norwich in May.
