Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has reiterated that striker Alvaro Morata will not be leaving the Santiago Bernabeu in the January transfer window.

The 21-year-old has been repeatedly linked with a move to Premier League leaders Arsenal this winter, with Italian giants Juventus and Inter Milan also rumoured to be keen on the Spaniard.

However, Ancelotti confirmed that the youngster is happy to remain in the Spanish capital for the time being.

He told reporters: "Morata hasn't asked to leave. He doesn't want to go."

Morata, whose contract with the Blancos expires in 2015, has started just one Primera Division fixture for the Spanish outfit this season.
