Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne admits he is flattered by interest in his services from Arsenal, but is happy to stay with the Serie A club.
Insigne helped Rafael Benitez's men to finish third in Serie A last term, while he also struck a brace in the Coppa Italia final as Napoli beat Fiorentina.
His stock enhanced, Insigne was then taken to the World Cup as part of Cesare Prandelli's Italy squad.
Soon though talk of a move to Arsenal surfaced, with the Gunners mooted to be preparing a €20m offer to sign him, though Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis insisted he is worth up to €70m.
For the Italian, such talk is flattering, but does not distract him from the job at hand with the Azzurri.
