Brazil ace Roberto Firmino plays down Arsenal, Manchester United link

Highly-rated Brazilian Roberto Firmino moves to play down speculation linking him with a move away from Hoffenheim.

Highly-rated Hoffenheim ace Roberto Firmino has played down speculation surrounding his future.

The 23-year-old Brazilian has emerged as one of Europe's hottest properties this season and is thought to have courted interest from Arsenal and Manchester United.

However, Firmino, who has netted twice in his four Brazil appearances, says that he is only focusing on making coach Dunga's squad for the upcoming Copa America finals this summer.

"I don't like to talk about transfers that much," he explained to the Copa America's official website.

"Rumours always bother you, but I try not to worry about them. I don't have a club that I dream of playing for. I dreamt of playing for Brazil, and this has already happened."

Firmino, whose contract expires in 2017, has netted six times and created nine in 30 Bundesliga appearances this season.
