Brighton midfielder Yasin Ayari is fully committed to his management company Universal Twenty Two.

AIK chief exec Fredrik Söderberg has stated they will no longer deal with the agency amid disparaging claims made in the local press.

But Ayari, a former AIK player, says Universal Twenty Two retains his full support.

The Coventry City loan player told Expressen: "I have nothing to do with it. What should I say? I am a soccer player. The agency helps me when it comes to football. What happens outside, what they do when they don't help me, I have nothing to do with. It's not like I'm asking either.

"They represent me and I've had them since I was little. I am very happy with what they have done for me and they have taken care of me. I have great love for AIK, I have been there since I was little. So, I have love for both of them.

"It is not that I support one side or the other. I am neutral."
