Yoann Gourcuff: No interest in moving ahead of Euro 2012

Yoann Gourcuff's agent has rubbished claims the France international could be set for a move in the January transfer window.

Attacking midfielder Gourcuff has been a long-time target of Arsenal and his mixed form at Lyon prompted further speculation the player would be heading for pastures new.

But agent Jean-Pierre Bernes denied there would be any activity this month.

"We talked about that," Bernes told France Football. "It would be nonsense to leave.

"I can't see any benefit to finding a new club three months before Euro [2012]!"

The 25-year-old Gourcuff is in his second season at Lyon, having previously played for Bordeaux and AC Milan.
