Clichy plays down Barcelona link, feels at home in England

Gaël Clichy has played down the link to Spanish giants Barcelona, saying that he has two years left on his contract and is focused on doing well for Arsenal.

The 24-year-old, recently reported to be the second fastest player in the squad after Theo Walcott, admits that he was flattered by the rumours, but he feels at home in England.

Clichy said: "It is great that these teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid are looking at me.

"They are great teams as everyone knows but all I want to say is that I am focused on the end of the season. I want to win something here. I have two years left on my contract so it is not a question to answer.

"I wouldn't say I feel English because some people will be upset with this. But I feel really at home here.

"Whenever I go home and see my family for two weeks, even if I feel really good there, I have to come back to London."
