French defender Eliaquim Mangala has insisted that he will not leave Porto before tonight's transfer deadline.

The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a host of European clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea.

However, the centre-back has revealed that he has no intention of leaving his current employers.

"I will not leave FC Porto. On September 11 [after international duty with France] I will be back," he told O Jogo.

Mangala joined Porto from Standard Liege in August 2011.
