Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has dismissed rumours linking him with a move to Roma and insists he wants to carry on playing in the Premier League.

The Poland international joined the Swans from Arsenal on a free transfer last summer and has kept 11 Premier League clean sheets his to help the Welsh club cement a place in the top half of the table.

Fabianski's form has reportedly alerted Roma, who are second in Serie A behind Juventus, but he says he is not taking any notice of the transfer speculation surrounding him in the Italian media.

He told Polish newspaper Przeglad Sportowy: "My brother mentioned that this information (about interest from Roma) appeared in newspapers, but to be honest, I feel very good in the Premier League.

"I know the language and culture. I think that the Premier League, despite the failure of English teams in European competitions this season, is still the most attractive place to play. That's why I'd rather not move anywhere."

Fabianski has played in the Premier League since leaving Legia Warsaw in 2007.

He made 78 appearances in seven seasons at Arsenal and won an FA Cup winners medal last May when the Gunners beat Hull 3-2 at Wembley.

The 29-year-old's form has also been noted by his country as he returned to the Poland team for their 1-1 draw away to the Republic of Ireland in their European Championship qualifier last Sunday.
