Mikel Arteta issues Arsenal 'top stars' transfer promise after commiting to new contract

Mikel Arteta has insisted that Arsenal have no intention of selling any of their best players this summer. The Gunners head into this Sunday’s clash with Leeds in pole position to secure Champions League football next season.

Arsenal are two points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham with just four games remaining, and the two sides will meet in a crucial North London derby on May 12. Although the immediate aim is on their four remaining fixtures Arteta will have one eye on this summer’s transfer window.

The Gunners will need to significantly strengthen their squad to cope with the rigours of domestic and European football next season. The forward line in particular will require major surgery with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah both out of contract next month.
