The £15m-rated Moroccan star has previously said that he desires a move to the Premier League.
"I know Younes well and like him a lot," the Arsenal boss said.
"But I don't want to cause problems.
"Only Montpellier can decide where he goes to."
The 22-year-old has two years left on his contract with the French side.
