There have been talks [with Arsenal]. We have to see if it suits both sides.I want to play on a regular basis ahead of Euro 2020 but if the manager [Unai Emery] doesn’t rely on me then I’ll need to consider my future.Lichtsteiner played the full 90 minutes, alongside Arsenal team-mate Granit Xhaka, as Switzerland beat Georgia 2-0 in their opening Euro 2020 qualifier.
