Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta refused to consider Granit Xhaka's future at today's pre-match presser.

Ahead of facing Nottingham Forest, Arteta was asked if Xhaka could be facing a special send off.

He said, "The clarity is there. He is a player that has played I think every minute since I have been the manager.

"He is an incredibly respected figure at the club. He has a great story around him with what he has achieved at the club in going through very tough moments and he is a key and very important part of us.

"Whatever happens is something we will discuss, certainly not now."
