Mesut Ozil, also 29, is another free to leave the Emirates at the end of the season having rejected a new deal.

But Arsene Wenger, speaking ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League clash against Chelsea, said: “We have not been contacted by anyone.

“This club has lost many big players and responded well.

“But you want to keep your best players. I want them to stay. Why should I be scared?

“It will depend as well on the players out of contract in June. We have to take that and respond to it.

“We have not lost them yet and [if we do], we will respond by bringing in players of top quality.”

Arsenal are expected to go back in for Monaco midfielder Thomas Lemar having failed with a £91m bid on deadline day.

Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez has also been linked with a transfer.

Wenger added: “We are out there to do some things, but when is hard to say, it is not dependent on us.

“We are open in any position for an exceptional player, it depends on injuries as well, and if we manage to extend contracts of players whose deals end in June.”
