Arsenal ace Miedema’s agent dismisses Gunners exit rumours amid reports of a Lyon swap with Nikita Parris

VIVIANNE MIEDEMA's agent poured cold water on speculation of the striker leaving Arsenal for a sensational move to Lyon

Leoni Blokhuis shut down rumours of a swap that would see her client join the French giants in exchange for Nikita Parris becoming a Gunner.

But Blokius, 33, did not rule out a possible free transfer after the end of next season with Miedema's Arsenal contract entering its final year.

And the agent, who also represents Miedema's Gunners team-mate, Lisa Evans, could only confirm she will see out her current deal with the North London side.

Blokius told Dutch newspaper AD: "Vivianne will remain, as it looks now, at Arsenal next season. That is her last contract year."

The founder's comments come just days after reports suggested Miedema could be on her way to seven-time Champions League winners Lyon.

The Gunners are reportedly in talks to trade former Manchester City star Parris for the Netherlands striker, 24, according to The Guardian.

It is thought the North London side are reluctant to lose their all-time top scorer on a free transfer next summer.

And despite all rumours surrounding her future, Miedema is yet to address them publicly.

And while seems a move to France may not be on the cards, Miedema could be open to returning to the Netherlands in the future.

In April the forward hinted at a switch to Feyenoord, who recently announced their formation of a women's team.

In a post to her 288,000 Instagram followers, Miedema said: "What a great day for the club, women's football and all the girls who have the dream of one day playing football for Feyenoord.

"And hopefully in the future, I can also wear the Feyenoord shirt."
