 Arsenal Star Dennis Bergkamp and his agent, in turn, have poured cold water over Wolves Fans` hopes of signing the 34 Year Old Striker.

 Amid the speculation surrounding Wolves regarding new signings Dennis Bergkamp and his agent have made it clear that the Dutch ace will not be joining Wolverhampton Wanderers at any costs.

 Bergkamp wants to stay at Arsenal and if he is unable to stay at Arsenal he will retire - under no costs will he move to another club.

 The talk around Wolverhampton was that Dannis Bergkamp would be signing for Wolves but his agent has dented those hopes.

 Robert Jenson told Sky Sports News "He will either stay with Arsenal or stop playing football."

 "Dennis has always said that he would like to end his career with Arsenal, that he would not go to another club."

 Bergkamp claims he would even take a par-cut to stop on the books at the Gunners and told icons.com "I've declared that I would be willing to accept a lower salary such is my desire to stay at Arsenal"

 "I made the decision that I wanted to stay at Arsenal some months back when it was made clear to me by my manager, Arsene Wenger, that he also wanted me to stay on at the club for another year. 

"I have enjoyed eight very happy years at Highbury and it is now my wish to finish my career at the place which is so special to me. 

"I feel I have shown loyalty to the club over the years and I would like to think that the club would be loyal to me also." 

 Meanwhile Dave Jones hopes to complete the signing of Ex-Arsenal star Oleg Luzhny on Monday.
