Roma's Antonio Rudiger rejects Premier League speculation

Roma centre-back Antonio Rudiger plays down speculation that he could leave Italian football for the Premier League.

Roma defender Antonio Rudiger has distanced himself from rumours that he could move to the Premier League.

It is understood that Manchester United and Chelsea are both interested in signing the centre-back, who has only just returned to action following a long-term knee problem.

The German international, however, has insisted that he is "really happy to play for Roma" and is not taking notice of the speculation surrounding his future.

"There's a lot of talk about changes in the squad, but I'm really happy to play for Roma. I'm not bothered about transfer rumours," Rudiger told reporters.

"In the end, I'm happy to be healthy again. It wasn't easy but now I can play again. I'm ready to play [on Thursday]. I hope for the best, but it's the coach's decision in the end."

Rudiger joined Roma from Stuttgart in the summer of 2015 and made 37 appearances during his first campaign with the Serie A giants.
