Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists he won't sell Andrey Arshavin this month.
The Russian has been linked with Juventus.
Wenger said: "We have had no contact. As soon as a player doesn't play fantastically well, he is criticised. We all know that. I am very happy with Arshavin.
"I believe he is a great player - he is going through a period where it is more difficult for him at the moment.
"But he works very hard in training. His attitude is fantastic and I am desperate to keep him.
"He played almost every single game since the start of the season. He has played for his national team as well and he is physically a bit less fresh."
