Arsenal could be set to lose Santi Cazorla on a free transfer, with the midfielder stating the club has yet to open talks despite his contract expiring next June.
The 31-year-old has established himself as a key player for the Gunners since joining from Malaga in 2012, but was beset by injury problems last term.
He has since made a full recovery, though, scoring twice in six Premier League outings – one a 94th-minute winner in a 2-1 victory over Southampton – to help his side up to fourth in the table.
However, Cazorla has no updates yet on what the club has in mind for his future, though he is only focused on doing well for the team and possibly earning himself an extension.
"No, I don’t have any news from the club regarding a new contract," the Spaniard told Cadena Sur. "My focus now is on playing and to be able to enjoy playing football following a season when I had lots of injury problems.
"I hope I can stay here and continue to play. I am happy here. What a player wants is to play and to feel important. Fortunately, since I arrived at Arsenal, I’ve had the confidence of the coach and of my teammates. I’ve played a lot of minutes. In the end, that is what every player wants."
