Michael Manuello, who is the agent of Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud, has said that his client does not wish to leave Arsenal to move abroad this month.
This will give hope to Everton and West Ham who are said to be interested in the striker.
The 31-year-old has not been featuring regularly for the Gunners this season and this will harm his chances of making the France squad for the 2018 world cup.
A move away from the Emirates is possible this month with a loan deal being the most likely possibility.
Manuello addressed the rumours which were linking the Frenchman with a move to either China or Turkey and he confirmed that his client is interested in neither possibility at this stage.
He said: “He listens, looks and after he will see. Leaving to leave has no use. It has to be coherent and it gives him something more. He will have playing time at Arsenal, the second part of the season is important, with competitions to play, even if he is only the Europa League.
“The clubs in Turkey? That does not interest him. China either. Leaving to earn more money is not what’s important in his state of mind.”
