“I see my future at Arsenal until the date my contract ends," he said this week.

“But I won’t lie, there have been times I’ve been disappointed and not happy with my situation.

“But the coach knows that. He’s the one who makes the choices. I’ll fight for my place.

“When I look from the stands at Arsenal, the team plays well and made a very good start to the championship, I tell myself that the train leaves without me and that I must not get too far behind.”
