Max Aarons is paying little attention to the transfer talk he is generating, with the Norwich defender prepared to leave links to the likes of&nbsp;Bayern Munich&nbsp;and&nbsp;Tottenham&nbsp;in the hands of others. The&nbsp;England&nbsp;U21 international has seen his stock rise considerably across the last two seasons.

Norwich are now preparing for a return to the Championship, having suffered relegation, and their most&nbsp;exciting young talents are attracting plenty of interest. Aarons falls into that category, with the 20-year-old right-back&nbsp;considered to be ready for another step up the ladder.

Mikel Arteta is convinced Saturday’s&nbsp;FA Cup&nbsp;final will not be Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s final game for Arsenal. The Gunners skipper - who has just one year left of his contract - goes into the Wembley showpiece with speculation raging about his future. Arteta - who has always maintained his belief that the striker will decide to extend his contract - insists he is not thinking about the possibility of Saturday being Aubameyang’s final appearance in an Arsenal shirt. “No, I don’t have those thoughts,” said the Spaniard - who also raised the possibility of the 31-year-old staying put even if he doesn’t put pen to paper on a new deal. “Don’t forget he still has a contract here with us. We want to keep him and do it more long-term. But at the moment he is with us and I think he should be really proud of where he is as well.”
