Torino starlet Angelo Ogbonna has played down speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League with Arsenal hotly tipped to be chasing him.

The 21-year-old Italian, who is of Nigerian descent, has featured regularly for the Serie B outfit since breaking into the first team in 2006.

Having made over 23 appearances for the Granata, Ogbonna has attracted overseas interest from a host of potential suitors, and Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger is believed to be one of them.

However the youngster was quick to dismiss the speculation.

“All this talk is paper talk, I don't know anything about it,” he told the Torino official website.

“People talk about those teams because I am told I will do well in that league and I am built for that league, but let's wait and see,” he added.

Ogbonna nevertheless refused to rule out a future move to arguably Europe’s finest League.

“I am happy in Torino at the moment, but teams like Arsenal and Man City are very big teams attractive to any youngsters,” he suggested.
