The young Frenchman put in a fine showing at the San Siro against AC Milan last night, leading to increased rumours of his departure.
However, he stated last night that he had no interest in leaving for Juventus, and continued today by insisting that he was eager to 'make history' with Arsene Wenger's Gunners, and that a new contract was in the works.
He told The Guardian, "I am very happy here. Every game I give more than 100% and I love playing for this team.
"We are a new generation, we have to create a new history. I want to be part of this history, so I hope I will be here for next season. At the moment my advisers are talking with the club, so I really hope that everything will be okay.
"I cannot put a time on it, but I really want to stay here. What is important for a player is to play and I am playing. I am becoming more and more confident and I want to take more responsibility."
The 23-year-old continued by saying that there was no reason that going all the way to Moscow for the Champions League final was within the team's reach.
"There are no limits because we are playing the Champions League to win it," he claimed.
"We are playing the Premier League to win it too. To concentrate is very important at a very high level. So we are going to stay focused.
"Everybody said that Arsenal was a young side with less experience. Remember that only two years ago we went to the Champions League final and a lot of our players now were in that team.
"We have added quality to the team. We are stronger, we have more experience, so I am sure we will do a good job in the Champions League."
