Stoke City attacking midfielder Marko Arnautovic has reiterated his desire to stay at the club amid rumours over a summer transfer back to Germany or to Serie A.

Arnautovic earned himself a regular spot in the Stoke attack following last summer's transfer from Werder Bremen and has moved to commit his future to the club by denying that he is looking for a transfer.

"It's just paper talk," he told The Sentinel. "The season was good and now it's over. I do not need to think about my future at the moment because it continues at Stoke.

"The important thing for me at the moment is to focus on the next few days with Austria, give everything, and then I can take a break."

Arnautovic played 30 of Stoke's 38 Premier League games last season.
