Alexis Sanchez
Arsene Wenger insists the Alexis Sanchez transfer saga won’t be a
distraction to Arsenal this season despite the Chile forward’s refusal
to sign a new contract.
Sanchez is out of contract at the end of the forthcoming season and
he has shown no signs of accepting Arsenal’s offer of a lucrative new
deal as he tries to engineer a transfer to a club in the Champions
League.
Man City, Chelsea, PSG, Bayern and Juventus have all been linked
with Sanchez, but Wenger appears determined to hold onto the 28-year-old
for the last year of his deal in the hope he can persuade him to stay
for the long-term.
Arsenal midfielders Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are also
in the final years of their contracts, yet when Wenger was asked if he
was concerned, he made it clear he expects his players to stay
committed.
“When you are a player you perform until the last day of the contract.
Do you really think you sit in the dressing room before a game
and say ‘oh I’ve only got a year to go on my contract so I won’t play
well’,” Wenger said
