Crewe Alexandra boss Dario Gradi has told Arsenal youngster Nick Powell is not for sale.

Arsenal are being linked with the teenage striker.

But Gradi told Crewe's website: "We want to keep our good young players for our own supporters. We want them to see them play for Crewe and enjoy the same satisfaction as we do and enjoy their progress.

The manager added: "If someone like Nick Powell went to Arsenal and didn't come through we would always be thinking would he have done if he had stayed here."
