Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta insists there's no plans to sell Nicolas Pepe.
Pepe is being linked with weekend opponents Newcastle United.
Asked what the message on Pepe would be, he replied: "That we are interested in Nico performing at the level that he can do.
"He has had some really good moments since I have been here, some moments where he hasn't participated that much.
"Like everybody else, it's part of football and it's part of the world you usually have at any football team."
Asked further if there would be any thought of entertaining offers in January he added: "No - and it's not the moment to talk about that either."
