Rosicky agent slams quit talk

Tomas Rosicky's agent has rubbished reports that the Czech Republic international's career is threatened by a long-running hamstring problem.

Rosicky, 27, has not made an appearance for the Gunners since January and surgery towards the end of the last campaign forced him to miss Euro 2008.

However, agent Pavel Paska has angrily denied rumours that the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder could be forced to call time on his career.

"It is nonsense," he claimed.

Rosicky recently admitted that he does not know when he will be able to return to action.

Earlier in the month, he said: "My return is still going to take some time.

"Each treatment runs the risk of bringing complications."

Meanwhile, Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure has revealed that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger tried to lure him to the Emirates Stadium during the summer.

Yaya in the younger brother of current Gunners defender Kolo Toure.

"Wenger, as well as my brother, asked me if I would join Arsenal during the summer, but I told them that I was very happy at Barcelona," revealed the Ivory Coast international.
