Arsenal midfielder Edu said he was flattered to have been linked with Barcelona but indicated he was happy to remain a Gunner if he had the chance of regular first-team football.

Edu told Spanish sports daily AS that talks with Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger had come to a halt "mainly because of my indecision."

Wenger has reportedly told the player to make up his mind one way or the other by January as his contract runs out at the end of the season and he faces being left on the sidelines unless he makes a decision.
