Mikel Arteta is eager to keep Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at Arsenal, and has welcomed his recent comments amid unwelcome transfer talk, but says no further talks have been held with the striker.
The Gunners had been hoping to have a prolific frontman tied to a new contract by now, but no extension to a deal due to run until 2021 has been agreed as yet, with it suggested that Aubameyang has been stalling as he mulls over his options.
The 30-year-old has refuted those claims, stating his full commitment to the Arsenal cause, and Arteta hopes fresh terms will be a natural progression further down the line.
