Mikel Arteta has insisted Shkodran Mustafi's immediate future remains with Arsenal regardless of any interest in the defender this month.
Mustafi has made just three substitute appearances in the Premier League this season, with the rest of his game time coming in the Europa League and Carabao Cup.
The 28-year-old is out of contract at the Emirates at the end of the season and is free to speak to other clubs about a summer move.

A knee injury kept Mustafi out of the FA Cup final in August and also sidelined him for the start of the season.
