Press Conference: Mikel Arteta on David Luiz, Willian and more

Arsenal are set to face Crystal Palace on Wednesday as the Premier League action resumes. The Gunners picked up an essential 0-1 win over Chelsea last week and will be looking to securing another round of essential points. Ahead of the match head coach Mikel Arteta has talked to the media and here is what he said: On Willian:
"We signed a player with an incredible talent. This season has been difficult. I take full responsibility because I have to be the one getting the best out of him. Every player who is under contract is likely to be here with us next season."

On David Luiz:

"He’s a player that has won everything in football. I had the privilege to work with him for 18 months, we got on really good, we had some great moments together.   "I learned from him. He’s been very helpful every time with the team. I feel sadness because you get attached to the players emotionally.   "We had very clear talks in the last few months. We already made a big decision to extend his contract. He’s given his best, I tried to help him as much as I could, the club as well. After some conversations we decided it’s the best way to do it now."
On William Saliba plans:
"You will see in the summer the possible (Luiz) replacement. William is our player and that’s the decision we will take soon. "   "When we finish the season and sit down and discuss the roles of every member of the squad, how they can fulfil that role. He’s our player and he’ll be back here for sure."
On Harry Kane:
"I don’t know if Harry Kane is leaving Spurs. I think he’s still there. It’s too many ifs. If he wants to leave he’ll try to make the best decision for himself, I’m sure."
On Arsenal's transfers this summer:
"We know what we want to do. There’s a clear plan to put together. We have a lot of players on loan, some of them have to come back. We’ll see. Let’s see how much we can do.   "I’m sure I’ve done a lot of things wrong. How am I going to make much better decisions? Get the best out of this football club, the players. I want to spend time building, creating and evolving the team the way we want to do."
On Bernd Leno:
"It’s another one with a contract here because of the length of his contract things will be speculated. He has two years here and he belongs here."
