Olympique Marseille maintain that Andre Ayew is an integral part of the club's future as they hope to fend off interests in the player.
Ghana midfielder, Ayew is a reported transfer target of Arsenal but the French side insist that the player is not for sale.
Arsenal are said to be planning a swoop for the Ghanaian for the exit of Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona, while Samir Nasri's future remains at the club uncertain.
But Marseille sporting director Jose Anigo has quashed any talk of a deal that could see the Ghanaian make the move to the Emirates.
Anigo maintains that they will not be selling the 21-year-old playmaker.
"Andre Ayew is not for sale,'' Anigo insisted. ''There is certainly a clause [in his contract] but the clause has a time limit which has expired. If you want to buy, you pay a different price than that set at the start."
He added: "Andre Ayew has a long way to go for us."
