Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Lukas Podolski will not be leaving the club before the transfer deadline on Monday.
The German World Cup winner has been linked with Serie A sides Juventus and Napoli, as he is expected to get limited playing time for the Gunners.
"Podolski is in the squad tomorrow and will stay with us," said Wenger ahead of the Champions League second leg against Besiktas.
Podolski's agent has also rubbished reports of offers coming in from Juve and Napoli.
Wenger also says Olivier Giroud will see a specialist tomorrow amid fears that he broke his ankle in the weekend draw with Everton.
The Arsenal chief says he cannot assess yet whether he will try to bring in a replacement.
"He will not play tomorrow [against Besiktas]. After that we will make an announcement on how long he will be out. It's sad for us but at the moment we're focused on tomorrow's game. Our focus is more on that than on a transfer."
