Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says winning Saturday's Heads Up FA Cup final to secure European football next season may persuade captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to stay at the club.
Gabon striker Aubameyang, 31, has one year left on his contract.
"I don't have that feeling," said Arteta when asked if the game against Chelsea would be Aubameyang's last.
"Winning the trophy helps you believe. If you wear the armband and lift that cup, that will help."
Arsenal finished eighth in the Premier League, outside the European qualification spots, but victory over Frank Lampard's side at Wembley would mean a Europa League place for 2020-21.
