  Arsenal are preparing to face Slavia Praha in the Europa League quarter-final second leg on Thursday. The first leg between the clubs ended in a 1-1 draw. Ahead of the game, Mikel Arteta gave a press conference and spoke out on Slavia, Florian Balogun new contract, Martin Odegaard and Dani Ceballos loan deals and more. On Slavia "They fully deserve to be where they are and showed in the first leg that they never give up. We're going to have a really battle tomorrow." On Balogun new contract "Yeah, we're going to make it official when it's official. We are very close." On Odegaard and Ceballos loan deals "With the financial position we've been in we had to find different ways to recruit good players to the club. In both cases I'm really happy with both of them & it needs to be decided at the end of the season." On Odegaard and Aubameyang's chances "I don’t know we have to see today how they are. We still have a couple of other ones as well in the last few days so we will have to see how everyone is today and after training how they react for tomorrow’s game." On whether Aubameyang and Odegaard will train "Depending how they wake up. Yesterday none of them could train. Hopefully today it’s a sunnier day so maybe it’s better."   source - football.london / Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
