Speculation this week has linked the Croatia international with a switch to Arsenal, with Gunners manager Arsene Wenger reported to be preparing a £12.5million bid.

"For me, my main objective is to keep fit - and that's all," said the 24-year-old who has not long been back in the team following ankle surgery in the summer.

"I've been out for three months, and it would be stupid for me to think about a move in January when I haven't been fit for the beginning of the season. "I've had rumours about transfers since I was 17 years old, and newspapers have probably linked me with every single club in the world - so it's something I don't talk about."

He added: "I'm happy playing football and happy playing for a team in the Premier League which is pushing for the European places."

Kranjcar, whose performances in the last fortnight have drawn high praise from boss Tony Adams, will face Newcastle tomorrow lunchtime and says it will be a tricky encounter despite the Magpies' recent woes.

"They've had a lot of unrest in the club, and I think it did affect the players," he said.

"But at the end of the day it's a Premier League game; we know the quality players they've got and we know it's going to be hard."
