Inter Milan deny tapping Arsenal's Hleb

Inter Milan have denied reports they're tapping up Arsenal midfielder Alex Hleb.

Reports earlier this week claimed Arsenal were considering reporting Inter to Uefa for an alleged illegal approach for Belarus international Hleb.

The alleged incident is reported to have occurred prior to Arsenal's UEFA Champions League clash with Milan at San Siro a fortnight ago.

It was suggested Hleb left Arsenal's team hotel with his agent to hold secret talks with Inter officials over a possible move to the Nerazzurri.

However, Inter have officially rejected the claims, issuing a statement to declare they had no meeting with Hleb and that they had received no complaint from Arsenal.

The statement read: "With regard to yesterday's report in La Stampa newspaper and today's articles in the British press, carried also by Italian news agencies, F.C. Internazionale denies having met with the player Alexander Hleb, and has received no letter of complaint from Arsenal."
