Clichy: I am focused on Arsenal

Defender Gaël Clichy has brushed tabloid speculation from Real Madrid aside, saying that he is completely focused on having a good season with Arsenal.

It is not uncommon for the press to stir up controversial stories during what is generally accepted as the most boring period of the season (internationals).

The story this time is that Madrid are willing to table a £16 million offer for the 24-year-old.

It is suggested that Santiago Bernabeu officials have already made contact with Clichy's representatives about a possible switch to Spain next summer.

Clichy said: "At the moment I am focused on Arsenal and France.

"This season could be very important to me and I desire to be focused in my work. The summer of 2010 is still very far away."
