Babel scotches move talk
Ajax star Ryan Babel has poured cold water on reports linking him with a move to Arsenal.
The 20-year-old is one of the most coveted players in Holland and has been linked with a move away from Ajax for some time.
Babel has made no secret of his desire to head for a foreign adventure, but he is not looking to leave Ajax for another year despite reported interest from Arsenal.
"I am not occupied with foreign interest," said Babel.
"I want to focus only on football. When I play good things will come by itself, wherever that may be.
"I will play at Ajax next season. I have a contract for another one and a half years and as far as I know I will hold on to that.
"Just like every other player I have my dreams. In the past that was playing at Ajax. Later I found Milan a nice club.
"In recent years Arsenal and Barcelona have also impressed me."
