The 30-year-old has a year remaining on his current contract and although the Gunners have an option to extend by a further year, sources say the club are yet to trigger the clause.

AS Roma grabbed a 1-0 home victory over Bayer Leverkusen in their Europa League semifinal first leg on Thursday thanks to 20-year-old Edoardo Bove’s second-half goal.

Cologne’s Davie Selke struck twice in the first half — either side of Amine Adli’s equaliser — to give them their third straight away win, their longest winning run away from home in 31 years.

After a strong start Union, who set a club record with their 21st straight unbeaten home league game, were on the back foot.

The result means Leverkusen, the last German team left in any European competition this season, have reached their first European semifinal in 21 years while ending Union’s fairytale maiden run in the Europa League.
