West Ham United defender Winston Reid has dismissed a report claiming he is trying to force a move to Arsenal.
The Daily Mirror alleged that Reid, who is out of contract in the summer, has told West Ham he wants to join Arsenal if an approach is made for his signature.
However, the New Zealand international, 26, has refuted the claim via his official Twitter account.

Hammers boss Sam Allardyce recently confirmed he would prefer to keep Reid until the end of the season and risk losing him on a free transfer, rather than sell him in the current window.
Reid signed for West Ham from Midtjylland in 2010 and has since made 114 league appearances for the club.
Meanwhile, Villarreal coach Marcelino has accepted that centre-back Gabriel Paulista wants to play in England and says a move will likely go through if Arsenal pay his buyout clause.
