Rep denies rift between Arsenal boss Arteta and Luiz

A representative of Arsenal defender David Luiz denies a bust-up with manager Mikel Arteta.

Pressure continues to mount on the Spaniard following the Gunners 1-0 defeat to Burnley on Sunday night.

Ex-Chelsea and PSG centre-back Luiz has started just one of the last six league games - coming off in half-time of the defeat to Wolves with a head injury.

He has not made the squad in any of the last four matches - whether in the league or the Europa League.

But regarding issues over their relationship, a representative for David Luiz insisted: "David Luiz strongly denies this story about him and Arteta and insists he has a good relationship with Arteta and wishes nothing but success."
