Marseille defender Nicolas N'koulou has dismissed speculation linking him with a summer move to Arsenal.

The Gunners are thought to be preparing an £8m bid for the 22-year-old Cameroon international.

"Nothing is done with Arsenal," N'koulou is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News

"I like Arsenal as a fan of good football, but it does not mean I will join them.

"I will be able to talk about my future in the summer. I know the club want to balance their books and think I am an asset for them."

N'koulou joined Marseille on a four-year deal from Monaco in summer 2011.
