Freddie Ljungberg insists he is fully committed to staying at Arsenal as he closes in on a decade in North London.
The Sweden captain has been linked with an exit from Emirates Stadium this summer, with West Ham and Portsmouth reportedly keen on the two-time Premiership winner.
Ljungberg has struggled to find his vintage form in the past two seasons, scoring just four goals, and it had seemed as though The Gunners' longest-serving player could be viewed as dispensable by Arsene Wenger.
However, the winger insists he is impatient to start the new season in red and white, as he looks to complete a decade of service for the club.
"This will be my 10th season with Arsenal and I cannot wait to start the season with them," Ljungberg said in The Telegraph.
"I am very much looking forward to the opening game against Fulham. It is great to start the season with a London derby."
Ljungberg's agent Claes Elefalk also underlined that the 30-year-old has no desire to leave Emirates Stadium over the summer.
Elefalk added: "For the last four or five years there have been teams knocking on the door wanting to buy Freddie. But he has no intention of leaving the club."
