Lorenzo Insigne has generated plenty of transfer gossip this summer, but he insists he remains fully committed to Napoli.

Arsenal are among those to have been heavily linked with an approach for the highly-rated winger.

The 23-year-old has been a regular source of goals and assists in Serie A over the last two seasons, while the 2013/14 campaign also saw him making a mark in European competition.

His efforts have not gone unnoticed, with senior international recognition having also come his way, but Insigne maintains that he sees his immediate future in Naples.

I’ve always said that I’m flattered by possible interest from big clubs, but I feel good here.
