Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has denied Mesut Ozil has already agreed to move to Barcelona when his contract expires at the Emirates.
The 29-year-old is out of contract at the end of the current campaign and is widely expected to leave the Gunners next summer after failing to sign a new deal.
Ozil is free to speak to foreign clubs in January over a move abroad but Wenger denies the Germany international has already agreed to join Barcelona next season.
The Frenchman says negotiations are ongoing with the pair and insists he has no worries about starting the two players against Burnley on Sunday.
"They are honest. I don't question their honesty," he added.
"Nobody knows what will happen when the players reach the end of their contracts. Our worry is to perform on Sunday, that's it.
Sean Dyche says all clubs adapt and change over time, including Sunday's opponents Arsenal, and the Burnley boss claims 'we’re a diluted version of the Gunners.'
"They want to turn up and put in good performances. I have no concerns. I am more concerned about the team performance.
"Ozil and Alexis are praised when the team is doing well because of them, and when the team doesn't do well they get more criticism. I'm more concerned that the team focuses on strong performances.
