French right-back Bacary Sagna insists he will not quit Arsenal this summer and that he is focusing on the next season.
Sagna has only one year left on his contract and have been linked with a move away from Arsenal following a mediocre last season at the Emirates. Clubs like PSG and Monaco have both shown interest in the full-back.
However, Bacary Sagna insists he has no intention of leaving London this summer.
“I enjoy playing for Arsenal,” Sagna told the Guardian. “I love my team, and I always give my best. I’m still here. Many people were talking about me going back to France but I’m still here and I’m looking forward to a big season with Arsenal.
“Last season was difficult. I only had one year left and people were looking at that and maybe thinking I would leave. But I tried to stay as calm as I could. Now I will work hard in pre-season and have a good season for Arsenal.”
Sagna admits the last 18 months have been difficult for him after suffering two broken legs and conceded the injuries took a lot out of him.
“It’s been very difficult for me physically,” added Sagna. “I was out for four months.
“I went out to Qatar to do my rehab, then I came back and had to start all over again. It was not easy because the injuries take a lot from you.
“But I’m looking forward to coming back, being at my best and helping the team again. I’m looking forward to the new season and a new start.”
