Mikel Arteta has denied recent reports he is interested in bringing Manchester City defender John Stones to Arsenal.
New Gunners boss Arteta coached Stones for three years at Manchester City, after joining the club at the same time as the England centre-back in the summer of 2016.
Arsenal have been linked with defensive reinforcements as they try and mount a challenge for a top-four place, but Arteta is not planning an imminent reunion with Stones.
Asked if there is any truth in his reported interest in Stones, Arteta said: "No, no truth at all."
The Arsenal head coach was also dismissive when asked about the Gunners' reported interest in AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie.
"No truth at all at the moment," Arteta replied.
