Luis Muriel, dubbed the 'Colombian Cristiano Ronaldo' and who has been linked with Arsenal, is likely to stay at Udinese next season, according to his agent.

Muriel is currently on loan at Lecce, where his performances have led to interest from Barcelona and Manchester United in addition to the Gunners.

It was expected that Udinese would let the 21-year-old leave the club this summer for around £8million, but the Serie A side are now believed to be keen on keeping him.

And speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, agent Mauro Cesarini said: "In normal circumstances he will wear the shirt of Udinese next season.

"There are many rumours about English and Italian clubs but I have not had formal contact with any club.

"I think he needs to mature a year and his immediate future should be the Udinese although the club will have the last word."
