Ozil and Sanchez staying “no matter what” says Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has issued a hands off warning to clubs interested in signing Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.

The duo have just 18 months left on their current deals at The Emirates and their have been suggestions of the pair looking elsewhere.

Wenger, though, is adamant both players will at least see out their contracts.

“No matter what happens they will stay for 18 months and hopefully for much longer,” he told Sky Sports.

Ozil and Sanchez’s contract situation is quickly becoming a headache for Arsenal. The two have reportedly demanded to become the Premier League’s highest earners. Whilst Arsenal are only prepared to offer up to £200,000.

The boss has made it clear he is prepared for the players to see out their contracts and lose both for nothing.

Wenger spoke ahead of his side’s clash at home to Stoke on Saturday. A win will take the Gunners joint top of the league and put pressure on Chelsea before The Blues entertain West Brom.
