Arsenal and not looking to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic "at the moment", says Arsene Wenger.

The PSG striker has hinted at a switch to the Premier League this summer and speculation that it could be with Arsenal intensified amid reports that Ibrahimovic's preference is to live in London.

Arsenal manager Wenger was asked about the speculation today, ahead of his side's Premier League match with Everton, in which he played down talk that Arsenal were making a move - however he failed to rule it out.

"Look, at the moment, no," Wenger said when asked if there was interest.

"We are not on that case. We have other worries at the moment. It's short-term. We are not on Zlatan's case. Even at 34, he's had a great season at PSG.

"At the moment you can understand my priority ahead of Everton is not the transfer market on signings next season.

"I'm just surprised by the name you've thrown at me. We're not thinking of signing anybody at the moment."

34-year-old Ibrahimovic, who struck a nine-minute hat-trick in PSG's championship-clinching 9-0 win over Troyes last weekend, has never played in the Premier League.
