Matthias Ginter has sought to distance himself from reports suggesting that a move to Arsenal this summer transfer window.

Mikel Arteta is a man that knows that this Chelsea side need to be improved in key areas of the pitch over the next few months as he turns this Gunners side from champions League chasers to Premier League contenders.

And having one of the worst defences out of the Premier League’s top ten clubs, means that Arteta is eyeing up a number of potential deals that he could solve the issues at the back with.

The 26-year-old is, however, tied to a contract at Bundesliga outfit Borussia Monchengladbach, and he sees no reason to break that agreement, despite the options he is reported to have on the table, and is adamant that he will be spending the 2020-21 campaign in his native Germany.

“I’m definitely staying in Gladbach,” Ginter told Kicker when quizzed on the exit talk.

“Of course I heard of the enquiries and was flattered by this attention, but I’ve said often enough how good things are for me in Gladbach.”

He added: “This team has huge potential, and the coach gives us a great deal of added value. With the amazing fans and surroundings here, this club is currently in the process of building something. I share these big ambitions and I also have a contract here.”

Look, Ginter is a solid player that would have been a very good signing for Arsenal, so the news that he does not want to leave will come as a massive blow to the Gunners.
