Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has denied striker Alvaro Morata will be loaned to Arsenal during the January transfer market. "I say, some clubs are interested but the subject is closed," he told Spanish radio station Esradio.

"Morata remains with us because we need a footballer like him at Real Madrid this season.

"Although he has not played many matches this season I have confidence in his work for the team."
