Udinese defender Benatia not angling for Arsenal move

Udinese defender Mehdi Benatia insists he's not angling for a move to Arsenal.

Benatia says he wants to stay in Udine.

"I am happy at the Friuli and think only of Udinese," he said.

"I signed a five-year contract and don't want to leave before that expires. I realised from the first day I arrived here that I had joined a great club.

"I have learned so much by training alongside teammates like Cristian Zapata and Andrea Coda. They are strong and expert defenders with over 150 Serie A appearances behind them. This team is very united, both on the field and off."
