Arteta said, ” We will discuss internally what the best situation for him is for the near future, obviously with the player and the agent too, and try the best solution for everyone.”

Arteta also explained that “if something was sorted this month, it’s because it is good for both parties, it is good for Mesut and his future, and it is good for the club. If that is the case, we will move forward. If it is not the case the player will stay here.”
