Arsenal boss Arteta confirms possible extension for David Luiz: But let's wait...

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed the club could extend David Luiz's contract.

But the Spaniard said now is not the time to worry about the Brazilian's future, despite his current deal expiring at the end of this season.

Asked if there was a chance of that happening, Arteta said: "We will see what happens.

"There are a lot of things happening around the club, a lot of decisions to make. I don't want to rush any decisions. I just want players to be focused.

"They know that they have six months left or eight months left, whatever it is, some of them a year. They know that. Their contracts are like that, we cannot change that.

"We cannot change all the contracts right now. I think it is time to be focused. We have been through a difficult period in the last few weeks and I just want people to focus on football.

"If you do what you have to do on the football pitch, you will deserve the chance to keep with us if this is what you want."
