Arsenal have reportedly put contract talks with manager Mikel Arteta on hold.
According to The Sun, the Gunners are eager to avoid any distractions in the title race.
Paris Saint-Germain, one of Arteta's former clubs, are said to be monitoring the Spaniard. There remains uncertainty over the future of current PSG boss Galtier, while president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has been impressed by Arteta's work at Arsenal.
Barcelona, who Arteta played for at youth level, and Manchester City, with whom he started his coaching career, also have a long term interest in the 41-year-old.
