The brother of Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne has brushed off talk of interest from English giants Arsenal and claimed the Italy international wants to stay put.
Arsenal have been linked with preparing a €20m swoop to snap up Insigne this summer as they look to bolster their forward options.
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has mocked the suggestion, claiming Insigne is worth at least €60m. And the player's brother, Antonio Insigne, is sure the forward will not push to leave Naples.

Pressed on whether that means Lorenzo will remain at Napoli despite Arsenal's interest, Antonio replied: "I think so. Lorenzo feels good in Naples.
