Mikel Arteta has played down speculation linking him with a return to his old club Barcelona and insists agreeing a new contract with Arsenal is not 'urgent'.
Reports in Spain have linked the Gunners boss with the top job at the Nou Camp, with presidential candidate Joan Laporta reportedly keen to install him as manager.
But Arteta, who came through the club's famous La Masia academy but left without making a first team appearance, insists he remains committed to Arsenal.
'There is always going to be speculation when there's elections in Barcelona,' he said during a press conference on Wednesday.
