Arsenal Wenger has denied reports that Arsenal have made an offer for £29m-rated Palermo striker Paulo Dybala.

The Italian club's president Maurizio Zamparini claimed this week that both the Gunners and Juventus had made bids for the 21-year-old.

"Ask him [Zamparini] to show you the offer," Wenger told reporters today ahead of Arsenal's Premier League match against Liverpool on Saturday. "[We are] not at all [interested]."

Wenger also admitted that he is a fan of "top player" Raheem Sterling after the Reds' winger said yesterday he was "flattered" to be linked with Arsenal.

The Gunners are monitoring Sterling's contract situation as the 20-year-old stalls over a new deal with talks over his future to the set to resume this summer.

“Look, I do not want to speak about any move,” he said. “We are not in a transfer period, we are in front of a big game. I respect Liverpool and I do not want to go into any supposed move for any of their players.

“Raheem Sterling is a top player, everybody in the country knows that now. He is a very important player for Liverpool of course.”
