Portsmouth midfielder Lassana Diarra has confirmed he will be at Fratton Park next season, despite reported interest in his services.

Diarra only moved to the South Coast from Arsenal in January, having swiftly become frustrated at his lack of playing time at the Emirates Stadium following his switch from Chelsea.

The France international has flourished under Harry Redknapp with his midfield displays attracting admiring glances from rival clubs.

But Redknapp has already ruled out allowing one of his key players to leave, and now Diarra has pledged his future to Pompey.

He told L'Equipe: "Where will I play next season? Why such a question? I am under contract at Portsmouth.

"I feel fine at the club, they have allowed me to play in Europe and win the FA Cup."
