Ajax sporting director Marc Overmars says he is committed to the Eredivisie giants amid reported interest from Arsenal.

Overmars helped the Gunners to a league and cup double in 1998 and enjoyed a successful three-year stint in north London.

Recent reports have claimed Overmars is on Arsenal's shortlist to replace Edu as technical director, but the Dutchman has moved to quash those links.

"As I've said before a number of times we're really enjoying ourselves," Overmars told Ajax TV.

"We're moving in the right direction. The four of us form good management and that's important.

"We're like a family, we're close. And that's important too. And who knows, we might have some good news soon.

"I'm not getting any younger. I've been offered the opportunity to go elsewhere too.

"That's what happens and it's always good to consider a move.

"But then I just think about how well things are going here. If it ain't broke don't fix it. If your old shoes are still comfy, keep wearing them."
