Catania defender Gino Peruzzi mute over Arsenal transfer

Catania's Gino Peruzzi has remained silent over transfer rumours linking the defender with a move to Arsenal.

The Gunners are reportedly interested in signing the 22-year-old, and the full-back is well aware of the speculation.

Peruzzi told reporters: "I heard about the interest of Arsenal, but the club has not told me anything.

"I am calm and I think I will stay here. I am just thinking of Catania and I really want to bring the team back into Serie A."

Arsene Wenger has signed Mathieu Debuchy from Newcastle United to fill the vacant right-back position but is weighing up his options, with a bid for Southampton's Callum Chambers reportedly in place.
