Hoyte dismisses talk of Villa switch

Justin Hoyte has ruled out a move to Aston Villa because he remains in the plans of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

The 23-year-old started only two Premier League games last season and has been linked with a number of moves, but most frequently to Villa Park.

Hoyte’s route to the first team at Emirates Stadium has been waylaid by the outstanding form of Wenger’s first choice right back Bakary Sagna but the former England Under-21 international insists he has been given assurances by his manager.

“There are rumours every day but I am contracted to Arsenal,” said Hoyte.

“The boss has said great things about me, has good plans for me and I need to show him what I am capable of.”

Setanta readers' comment of the day

“I'm glad he's staying!! For a few weeks there I thought we were going to get ripped off TWICE in 1 summer! Robbie Keane is a very good footballer but worth £20million i'm not sure. £18million for Barry and £12million for Alonso!! Jesus is it just me or does EVERYONE else see that as terrible business?? Rafa has a plan that he obviously thought Barry would be the perfect cog in his midfield machine but maybe next year, maybe not. I'm not sure about Riera but i'm willing to give him a chance like he deserves!! I hope we win the league this year but Chelsea are looking very strong.”
