Mikel Arteta says that some of his **** nal squad "need to face that reality" that their futures lie elsewhere, but expects Myles Lewis-Skelly to stay at the club.
The midfielder, who can also play at full-back, has been linked with moves to Chelsea and Manchester United this summer.
But Arteta does not foresee the 19-year-old leaving the Gunners before Deadline Day on on 1st September.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of **** nal's Premier League opener at Coventry City, the Basque native said he was "100 per cent" confident that Lewis-Skelly would remain at the north London outfit.
Tough conversations will need to be had with other members of the **** nal squad, however. Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Ethan Nwaneri have all been heavily linked with transfers this summer.
