Arsenal manager relaxed over Barcelona target's contract situation - 'We will have talks'
What's the latest?
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed his confidence in securing the services of Barcelona midfielder Gavi, despite the player's current contract situation.
Gavi's current deal with Barcelona is set to expire in 2023, and the player has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent months.
However, Arteta has insisted that he is not worried about Gavi's contract situation, and that he is confident that the player will eventually sign a new deal with Barcelona.
What has Arteta said?
"We are very happy with Gavi," Arteta said.
"He is a great player, and we are confident that he will continue to develop and improve at Barcelona."
"We will have talks with him and his representatives in the future, but we are not worried about his contract situation."
What does the future hold?
It remains to be seen whether Gavi will eventually sign a new deal with Barcelona.
However, Arteta's comments suggest that Arsenal are confident that they can persuade the player to join them in the future.
Gavi is one of the most exciting young midfielders in Europe, and he would be a major coup for Arsenal if they could sign him.
