Arsène has already stated that pat will be an arsenal player next season.This is the interview from Arsène in the sunday express :
"Patrick will not go to madrid.Maybe it would be good for him to come out and say that himself,but if he came out to deny everything that has been written about him then he would be a very busy guy."
"It's down to him and l cannont come out and say it for him. He was also on holiday up until now and its dufficult to comment every time something is romoured.Rumours are just romoursand in England they are world champions.
"It would be a shock to me if Patrick put in a transfer request."
"If he's fit he will play our first game of the season"
