Torino president Urbano Cairo is adamant he will not loan star player Alessandro Rosina to Arsenal in the January transfer window.

Torino have reacted quickly to reports that Italian playmaker Rosina could leave for the Emirates stadium.

The Granata's top man has had a difficult start to the campaign.

Cairo has, however, insisted that Rosina is part of his club's future plans.

"Ale [Rosina] will not go on loan to Arsenal in order to rediscover his form, because he doesn't need that," he said.

"He will remain with us and will give us a helping hand to reach our aims."

Twenty-four-year-old Rosina has made just seven starts for Torino this season.
