Interviewed after his team’s big victory against Everton on Sunday (5-1), Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta mentioned the cases of Alexandre Lacazette, Mohamed Elneny and Eddie Nketiah. The Spanish technician indicated that the Gunners had already decided on the future of the three players who are out of contract in June, without announcing the decision of the London club.
“I’m going to talk to all three players, now or tomorrow, and after that we have to start moving. But we have clear ideas about what we want to do. (Their future) has been decided but it is very difficult to communicate it. Doing it sooner, one way or the other, with three situations like that, would have been very, very clumsy” said Arteta. The tricolor striker would be close to a departure while Elneny and Nketiah could stay at Arsenal.
