PSG watch as Arsenal and Arteta put contract talks on-hold

Arsenal have delayed new contract talks with manager Mikel Arteta.

Arteta has just over two years left on his £8.3million-a-year Gunners deal which he signed before the end of last season.

The Sun says both manager and club have agreed to put talks on-hold over a new contract until the summer so not to distract from Arsenal's title push.

As he's revived Arsenal's fortunes, Arteta has been linked with clubs across Europe, with the latest being PSG.

With doubts over the position Christophe Galtier, PSG are eyeing their former midfieder Arteta as a potential replacement.

Arsenal are understood to be calm about Arteta's contract situation, with the Spaniard penning new terms only last May.
