Unai Emery is confident Aaron Ramsey will stay with Arsenal.
The Welsh midfielder, who is being linked with Lazio, is out of contract at the end of the season. He has made over 300 appearances for Arsenal since joining from Cardiff City in 2008.
The Gunners let Jack Wilshere walk on a free transfer this summer. But Emery believes Ramsey will commit his long-term future to the club.
"Football changes every day. It's not easy. For that, I am thinking the match today first, then training tomorrow, then the match Saturday, with an important player here.
"Aaron is an important player for us, and the contract is one thing for the club and the player. For me, I want him to stay with us, to work with us, to give the team the big performance
"I think he is going to stay here with us."
