Vilanova eases Arsenal, Inter speculation for Barcelona's Afellay

Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova says Ibrahim Afellay will not be leaving the club this summer.

Recent reports have suggested that the 26-year old Dutch winger was offered to both Arsenal and Inter Milan as Barca tried to bring in Javi Martinez from Athletic Bilbao but Vilanova has rejected those claims.

"Afellay is a player of great class, there is no doubt about it," Vilanova told NUsport.

"Like always, he is part of our selection. We will begin the season with him."
