Gilberto has been linked with a move away from the Emirates stadium for some time now with Juventus, Roma and Valencia all said to be interested in the Brazilian.
"At the moment, I prefer not to think about moving and to fight for my position," Gilberto said."This is what I have in mind, to get back in the team and hope I can achieve that as soon as possible," said the 31-year old.
"But I know the team is playing well and so are the guys in my position, especially Mathieu. I will do my job, and I did that again against Tottenham which was another good opportunity for me to show that I am capable to come back into the team."
