The French star will become a free agent at the end of the campaign and several clubs are interested in his services as he is one of the most sought-after strikers on the transfer market.
Spanish coach Mikel Arteta was asked whether the club would be interested in signing France captain Kylian Mbappe, who has told Paris Saint-Germain he intends to leave at the end of the season.
He said signing Mbappe would match the club's ambitions of becoming the "best team", though he admitted it was unlikely, with the player widely linked with a move to Real Madrid.
"Everybody wants to play for Arsenal. The players we have held discussions with, they always have that smile on their face the moment you open the door and start to have that discussion. That is because of our history and everything we have done in the past as well," he told reporters.
"When there is a player of that calibre then we always need to be in the conversation but it looks like (his future) is in a different way," he added.
