Glad to hear these words from Alberto.

Aquilani: I'm 100 per cent Roma
Wednesday 21 May, 2008
Alberto Aquilani is “flattered” by reported interest from Arsenal, but he is completely dedicated to the Roma cause.
The gifted midfield starlet has become a pivotal figure for the Giallorossi and is seen as a foundation for the future of the club.
However, Aquilani’s agent Vincenzo Morabito claimed on Monday that Arsenal had opened talks for the 23-year-old.
“I can only say that I am flattered,” the Azzurri talent told the Corriere dello Sport.
“According to speculation I have already gone to two or three of the mentioned sides.
“But I have a deal at Roma until 2010. I am a part of this Giallorossi team and no other sides matter. Talk of a move makes no sense.”
Aquilani was named in Roberto Donadoni’s provisional 24-man squad for Euro 2008 yesterday and his value is currently estimated at around £15m.
Arsenal are looking to rebuild their midfield after the departure of Mathieu Flamini to Milan on a free transfer and may be preparing for the loss of Alexander Hleb, who has been widely linked with a move to Inter this summer.
