Arsenal technical director Edu has rubbished claims of a rift between manager Mikel Arteta and senior center back David Luiz.

The Brazilian has been in and out of the team this season.

A recent leak in the media reported that Arteta and Luiz are no longer on speaking terms.

It is also reported that Luiz and midfielder Dani Ceballos recently got into a physical altercation during training.

Asked about these matters, Edu said, per the Daily Star: "I see the players, everyone believing in what we are doing, and that's the message.

"Because I started to hear from the outside, by the press, 'players have a problem, some of the players not believing in Mikel, Mikel and David not talking…' It's not right.

"Nothing happened like people are saying and I don't want that kind of thing to build externally to something which is not true internally.

'I want people to understand that what we are doing here, we are in the process to have a beautiful future.

"If you see how many young players get a chance. Joe Willock got a place, Emile Smith Rowe is starting to be on the bench, Ainsley Maitland-Niles start to be in the international team and Bukayo has been unbelievable.

"There is a lot of them and don't forget, Kieran Tierney is young, Gabriel is young, Gabriel Martinelli is young – we have a quite interesting future in the club when you are taking about these players – we have a beautiful future."
