Mikel Arteta stated that he hasn't thought of the possibility of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leaving Arsenal during the winter transfer window.

"I don't even think about that possibility [of him leaving] with Auba. I want him here," said Arteta.

Arteta added that he also spoke to Granit Xhaka about staying with Arsenal amid a rumored move to Hertha Berlin.

"I had a conversation with him and I wanted to understand his feelings first, the reason why he was thinking here probably wasn't the right place to continue his career."
