Diarra happy at Portsmouth

Portsmouth midfielder Lassana Diarra insists he does not want to leave Fratton Park.

Former Chelsea and Arsenal player Diarra has impressed for Pompey since joining in the January transfer window and is understood to have caught the eye of a number of clubs across Europe.

However, Diarra - who helped Portsmouth to FA Cup success last season - is adamant he will not be heading for pastures new this summer after earning a spot in France's Euro 2008 squad.

"I am fine at Portsmouth, where I have won the cup," Diarra told L'Equipe.

"I am very happy there. At Portsmouth, I have learnt a lot of things, and I am one of the key players.

"I joined them to play a lot of matches. And I have found what I wanted."
