"He’s a player that I really like," Arteta said in a press conference on Thursday.
"Obviously I’ve got this situation and I believe it's later than what I would like because I wasn’t here when everything started to develop but yes, he’s a player that I would like to give chances to.
"That’s why he was in the squad today and I showed him that yes, we count on him and we believe in him and if he wants, he’s going to have a future in the club."

The American-born forward netted 25 times in just 19 appearances when playing for Arsenal's under-18 side.
Sheffield United were one of the teams interested in snapping Balogun up during the transfer window, bidding £3million for his services.
That failed to get anywhere near Arsenal's valuation though, as they demanded closer to £15m despite his contract being close to expiry.
Whether his first foray into the senior set-up will convince Balogun to stay remains to be seen, but his response to his debut hints he would be keen to extend his stay with The Gunners.

Speaking after the 3-0 victory, Balogun told the Arsenal website : "It feels great [to make my debut]. It's a moment I have been waiting for a little while so to finally get it feels great .
“I can only thank Mikel and the staff for this opportunity and I look forward to doing it more often.
“It's been tough, I've been at a few other clubs doing trials and stuff like that, but I've been working my way through the academy and I think as time has gone on I've become a better player.
“I think that's shown in my performances and I think it's good now to get the recognition that my performances deserve.”

But the unbeaten man used his superior speed and movement to assume control around the halfway stage , wobbling Chisora in the seventh round , and was given the nod by two scores of 115-113 and one of 117-112 on the judges ' scorecards .
Chisora felt he deserved to be given the win as he said : `` I was pushing the pace , I gave a couple of rounds away but I was pushing the pace but the judges saw it a different way .
`` I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm basically gutted . ''
Another former world champion , Carl Froch , was in agreement with Nelson who said Usyk was not guaranteed to rule the heavyweight division .
