Stephan Lichtsteiner Says He Could Leave Arsenal Despite Talks over New Contract

Arsenal defender Stephan Lichtsteiner has said that while there have been discussions of a new contract at the club, he could leave in the summer in search of more game time.

The Switzerland international signed a one-year deal when he joined from Juventus last summer.

He told Neue Zurcher Zeitung's Samuel Burgener and Michele Coviello (h/t Goal):

"There have been talks. We have to see if it suits both sides. Arsenal is a big club, I feel very happy. But I want to play regularly with regard to the European Championships.
