Leon shoots down Gunners’ rumours

SOCHI — Germany’s rising star Leon Goretzka on Saturday brushed off reports that Arsenal are set to swoop for the midfielder who has impressed at the Confed Cup.

The Schalke midfielder scored in Germany’s opening 3-2 win over Australia in Group B, then put in a strong display in Thursday’s 1-1 draw with Chile. He has a year left on his Schalke contract and Goretzka insists he is fully focused on the Confed Cup. —
