Arteta wants Aubamayeng fans to calm down

Arsenal fans can "calm down" over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's contract given that the transfer window has not been completed this season, according to Mikel Arteta.

Arteta is "confident" that the Arsenal captain will renew his contract.

Aubameyang's contract expires next summer, prompting speculation that he could leave the club, but last month Arteta said he had persuaded him to stay.

"He is very happy to be here," said Arteta, speaking ahead of Saturday's clash with Fulham.

"He wants to keep up the pressure and help the team. I think the fans should calm down."

It is also expected to sign Atletico Madrid's Thomas Partey and Lyon's Houssem Aouar.
