Here's all the news from around the Emirates Stadium over the past 24 hours.
Wright's Smith Rowe fear
Ian Wright has praised Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for the way he has introduced Emile Smith Rowe to the first-team.
Smith Rowe has been outstanding for the Gunners recently after breaking into Arteta 's team - impressing in the side's last three victories against Chelsea, Brighton and West Brom.
The 20-year-old now looks like the future of the north London club; something that Serge Gnabry perhaps could've been.
However, Arsenal decided to sell Gnabry for just £5m to Bayern Munich and the German winger has been a revelation.
Wright is delighted with the way Arteta has introduced Smith Rowe and it looks like they could've avoided a replica of the aforementioned Gnabry situation.
"I think that what Mikel has done now, the timing with which he’s done it, is absolutely perfect because I think if Emile Smith Rowe doesn’t get into this team, at this stage, and they carry on doing what they’re doing and persisting with people who are not performing at the levels they should – whether it’s Willian or [Nicolas] Pepe – I think you lose him.
"Especially with January coming and then we’ve got a Serge Gnabry on our hands."
Ozil's agent breaks silence
Mesut Ozil's Arsenal future is likely to be decided in the next 10 days, according to the German's agent, Dr Erkut Sogut.
Ozil is not in either of Arteta's squads this season and his future looks set to be away from north London, as football.london reported earlier this week that the 32-year-old has opened talks with DC United over a January move.
Now, the experienced playmaker's agent, Sogut has been speaking to ESPN about his client's next move.
He said: "We were not allowed to talk legally before January 1 so now we are just starting to look at the options with the numbers and details.
"I can't talk about the clubs directly because it would be unprofessional but generally, there are six months left on the contract and it is nothing unusual that we will talk to people about different opportunities and try to find the best option for Mesut.
"In the next seven to ten days, it will be a little clearer as now the transfer window is open, things can move faster."

Arteta's Guardiola template
Arsenal's recent form will be an absolute relief to Arteta - who was beginning to come under pressure as the manager.
The Gunners have now won three successive Premier League matches against Chelsea, Brighton and West Brom.
To find out why Arteta's side have suddenly turned their form around, football.london took a look at exactly what has changed for the Spaniard's team.
Before returning to the Emirates following the sacking of Unai Emery, Arteta was Pep Guardiola's assistant manager at Manchester City.
Guardiola, at times, has gone with a 2-3-5 formation - and this is something Arsenal can be seen using in recent games.
In this system, Bukayo Saka - who was playing left-back in the absence of Sead Kolasinac and Kieran Tierney - would get forward as much as possible in order to offer another offensive option for his team-mates.
In his place Granit Xhaka would drop to cover and dictate play from deep, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would drift infield to devastating effect.
