Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno says there was never any internal concern that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would leave last month.
The Gunners captain was linked with Barcelona.
But Leno told the London Evening Standard: “I think not too many players talked about this.
“Of course there are many rumours and other people talk about this, but you never had the feeling that any player was thinking about another club or wanted to leave or was refusing to train, or something like that, or they didn’t have the mentality in the training.”
Leno is confident all his fellow players are now pulling in the same direction.
“Everybody can see we have a new manager and a new mentality,” he added. “We want to build something here at Arsenal.
“Maybe it takes a little bit of time, but of course we also want to have good results straight away now.
“You can see on the pitch all these rumours [don’t affect] these players – they are fighting, they are leading the team and this is the only way.”
