STEPHAN LICHTSTEINER insists he has not yet agreed a contract with Arsenal.
The Gunners are confident of securing a move to bring the Swiss defender to the Emirates on a free transfer.
Lichtsteiner, 34, is a free agent after leaving Juventus and looks set to move to the Premier League.
The right-back and his representatives have held talks at Arsenal’s London Colney base.
However, reports a deal is already in place have been dismissed by the veteran.
He told reporters: “Nothing is finished yet.
“I cannot comment on the negotiations.
“As long as nothing is completed, that is always interesting in football. I think we all know that.”
