Christopher Samba Denies Arsenal Switch

Blackburn's captain Christopher Samba has distanced himself from his supposed quotes - that speak of his Champions League football admiration and imminent arrival at Arsenal. He insisted that the quotations were inappropriate, and in violation of his contractual agreement with Blackburn Rovers.

The 27-year-old Congo international wrote on his personal Twitter account: "The declarations about me are totally false - never said that.

"I'm a Rovers player and will never mention other clubs - it's disrespectful. Not happy right now."
