Arsenal left-back Gael Clichy has insisted that he is fully focused on maintaining his form for club and country as rumours continue to link him with a move to Real Madrid.

The Frenchman inked a four-year contract in 2008, but reports surfaced again last week claiming that the Spanish giants were considering making a move for the 24-year-old at the end of the season.

Clichy though claims that he has not thought about the move and is concentrating instead on playing well for club and country.

"At the moment I am focused on Arsenal and France," he told the News of the World.

"This season could be very important to me and I desire to be focused in my work. The summer of 2010 is still very far away."
