Lewis Holtby committed to Schalke 04

Schalke 04 midfielder Lewis Holtby has reiterated a desire to remain with the German club this season.

The 22-year-old is regarded as one of the best young talents in Germany and has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs.

However, the youngster told reporters: "My focus is on the squad, the team, the club and tomorrow's game.

"Other people can talk about it, but I just want three points for me and my team. Everything else I just put to the side. I play for Schalke, I don't play for Liverpool, Arsenal or anyone else."

Schalke face Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday.
