Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has rubbished reports suggesting he is set to leave Udinese in the off-season. The 22-year-old, who has spent almost five years with the Serie A side, is thought to be a transfer target for English Premier League clubs Crystal Palace and Norwich City, sparking rumours of an imminent departure. Badu's involvement was curtailed last season by a series of injuries as he managed just 25 appearances for the Little Zebras, adding even more doubt to his long-term future at the Stadio Friuli. The Black Stars maestro, though, says he has heard nothing of any potential offers for his services, and insists he is determined to continue working for his place in the Bianconeri squad. "I have not thought about leaving this club. I am committed to Udinese and that is the optimum thing," he told Football411 in an exclusive interview. "As it stands now my representatives have not told me anything about clubs chasing me. I see some in the newspapers and on the Internet that some clubs are chasing me, but as I speak to you I have not received any offer from any club. "My club has also not communicated anything to me so I am with them training ahead of the upcoming season and that is what I want to do - help my team qualify to the Champions League and do well for the fans because they have been supportive of me since day one." The former Ghana Under-20 hero reiterated that stance when quizzed over a possible move to England, saying: "Those reports are not true, I will never do that to a club that has been so helpful to me. I have no idea where these reports are coming from, for me nothing is concrete and that is the bottom line. I am a Udinese Player and I respect that."
