THE Scarlets insist Samson Lee is staying with the region.
Reports had claimed the highly-rated tight-head was wanted by Gloucester, whose coach Nigel Davies - previously head coach at Parc y Scarlets - is looking for a replacement for Italy-bound Dario Chistolini.
But the Scarlets have today moved to quash such speculation.
It said: "We would like to reassure our supporters that Samson continues to be a committed Scarlet, is under contract to us for five years and is very much part of our future.
"We are proud of the fact that Samson is one of a number of emerging players who are showing their ambition and commitment to the Scarlets and making great strides in their rugby development from working within our environment and region.
"Samson is committed to rugby with us and we see him as a key part of our Scarlets squad."
