Lazio attacking midfielder Hernanes has revealed that he will be staying at the Italian club despite reported interest from a number of clubs.

The Brazilian impressed in Serie A last season with Arsenal and Anzhi Makhachkala believed to be amongst the clubs ready to bid for him but the 26-year-old insists that he is happy in Rome.

Hernanes told Corriere dello Sport: "I don't have any plans to move. I have also heard those rumours but there is no truth in what is being said.

"I am leaving for Brazil for 15 days and then I will return to Rome to begin pre-season training with Lazio."

Lazio signed Hernanes from Sao Paulo for £11.2m two years ago.
