Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari has brushed aside speculation about a return to Italy, saying he wants to stay with English club Portsmouth.
Muntari has been impressive since joining Portsmouth from Italian club Udinese last season.
Serie A giants Juventus were reported to be keen signing him to return the Italy but Muntari is only thinking about Portsmouth.
I want to get higher in the League and we will improve. We'll just see what happens
He said: "I've had two weeks spent relaxing but I'm back and playing. I'm just looking forward to the new season. I'm going to try my best and work for the team.
"That's the important thing. Not for myself but for the team. My first season was good. I won the FA Cup and I hope to continue this way.
"I am going to keep playing better and better so I can help my team to achieve. That's why I am here and that's why I play football. I will be working hard.
"Definitely we will improve because we have Europe now so, we have some more experienced players and the manager is good. Ben (Sahar), Glen (Little) and Peter (Crouch) are very good signings.
"I have already seen them in training and they are good players. That's why they are here. Harry Redknapp knows what he is doing so there is no doubt about it.
"I want to get higher in the League and we will improve. We'll just see what happens," he said.
