Djamel Mesbah wants Milan stay

Djamel Mesbah has sought to bring an end to the speculation regarding his future, stating that his desire is to earn a regular role at AC Milan.

The Algerian international has been linked with a move away from the Italian giants this summer.

Reports have suggested that the left-back has been subject to interest from Arsenal and Tottenham recently, but the 27-year-old insists he is only thinking about his future with Milan.

"It is flattering when you hear about teams with big reputations being interested in you and I am grateful to be linked with all of those teams," said Mesbah.

"However, I want to stay with AC Milan and fight to be in the starting lineup.

"I love Milan and I feel very happy here."

Mesbah signed a four-and-a-half year deal at the San Siro in January, joining from Lecce.
