Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta does not want the club to lose goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
Speculation in recent weeks has linked Leno with a move away from Arsenal in the summer, as they are unlikely to be playing any European football next term.
But Arteta values Leno's contribution to the team, and hopes the German will be with the first team squad for pre-season and beyond.
Arteta told reporters: "It's another one with a contract here that because of the length of his contract, a lot of things will be speculating.
"He has two years here and he belongs here."
