Per Mertesacker has pledged his commitment to Werder Bremen.
The 25-year-old centre-half has been linked with a switch to a number of clubs, with Premier League outfit Arsenal rumoured to be interested in his signature.
But the Germany international, who was part of Joachim Low's side that finished third in the World Cup, has now revealed he will remain at the Weserstadion.
"I'm staying at Bremen," Mertesacker told German daily Bild.
"There have been so many rumours concerning me, but I've never had to be concerned because none were concrete."
