Mikel Arteta has no plans to leave Arsenal at the end of the season, Sky Sports News has been told.
Reports in Spain have suggested the Gunners boss intends to step down in the summer, with a number of outlets linking him to the Barcelona job.
Spanish publication Diario AS reported that the Spaniard had informed his entourage that he was open to exiting the Emirates following the conclusion of the current campaign, amid ongoing links to the post at Barcelona.
Xavi announced the decision to leave after Barcelona lost 5-3 at home to Villarreal, conceding twice in added time at the Nou Camp. The result leaves them 11 points off LaLiga leaders Girona.
Arteta, 41, replaced Unai Emery at Arsenal, taking a senior managerial role for the first time in his career.
