Hamburg - Tore not for sale

The Turkey international was only plucked from Chelsea's reserves six months ago by the Premier League outfit's former sporting director, Frank Arnesen.

But Rubin are reportedly already showing interest in the 19-year-old and Arnesen has been forced to insist the versatile attacker is not for sale.

Tore has also eased any fears he might try and force a move away from Hamburg after he insisted he is happy at the Imtech Arena, but he has admitted to being flattered by the speculation.

No pain-barrier

Sport-BILD quotes Tore as saying: "It is an honour for me to see a club like this keen on my services after just six months of duty in the Bundesliga.

"I am actually focused on Hamburg. I am very happy with my situation at the club."

Arnesen has been adamant there is no room for negotiation when the transfer window reopens in January, with Tore under contract until the summer of 2014.

He told Sport-BILD weekly: "Gokhan Tore is a player of our club, he is a first-team regular.

"There is no sort of pain-barrier in terms of bids and offers, he is just not for sale. He is staying on."
