Read part transcript from Arsenal official website:
on the fitness of the squad…
"So far everybody is okay, we will see how training goes tomorrow to pick the right team and the right squad. Again, it is going to be different with the amount fo substitutes that we can have on the bench and the amount fo substitutes that we can do, so we have to think about how we can do that"
on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s future…
"I think it is our responsibility to make him feel this is the right next step in his career. In order to do that, he needs to feel valued, he needs to feel he belongs to us and we want him, and then he really needs to believe that we can take the club forward in the way we want to do, and he is going to be a key player to do that. At the moment I am extremely happy with how he has been performing and behaving, I have a really good relationship with him where we can discuss face to face a lot of things. As far as I am aware, he is very happy at the club."
on the contract situation...
" Well, I think in a different context we would have liked to do things much quicker but obviously we have been really tight with time and communication as well. These unprecedented times bring a lot of uncertainty and things are getting clearer and clearer every day, we are a step closer to get back playing football and moving forward."
on whether qualifying for the Champions League could help convince Aubameyang to stay…
I think that will help to persuade anybody, but we are very lucky to have the club that we have right behind us. There are a lot of players who want to come and join us, but it’s not just about who do we want to attract, it’s about how happy the players are that are here and how convinced they are that they’re at the right place because it’s almost our obligation to be fighting for every trophy and playing in the Champions League with this club.
on whether they’ve had discussions with Aubameyang…
"We’ve had many discussions with Pierre, his family and agent, and I’m pretty positive that we can find the right agreement for all parties."
The Gunners will travel to Etihad to face Pep Guardiola side in June 17th in their outstanding game. The kick off is 8:30pm GMT.
