VIDEO: Arsene Wenger rubbishes Mario Balotelli rumours

Arsene Wenger manager of Arsenal looks on during the Barclays Premier League match between Southampton and Arsenal at St Mary's Stadium on January 28, 2014 in Southampton, England.

Arsenal have been linked with the Italian striker this summer as they try to strenghten their attracking options.

Arsene Wenger, being a pundit on beIN Sports’ World Cup show, was asked by AC Milan legend Rudd Gullit if he was going to buy controversial striker.

The Arsenal boss responded:

“No. No, that’s pure invention. We cannot believe absolutely everything that is on internet or is in newspapers. Sometimes it’s created by agents or by press who needs news. But in that case, it’s not true.”
