Mesut Ozil And Alexis Sanchez Won’t Leave In January – Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger says Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil will not be leaving Arsenal in the January transfer window.

The pair are both out of contract at the end of the season but Wenger says he is hopeful they will still be Arsenal players next term.

Sanchez and Ozil’s contracts expire on June 30, 2018, and both have been linked with some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

However, Arsene Wenger is adamant the Gunners will not be tempted to cash in during the winter window.

Asked if the pair would still be Arsenal players on February 1, Wenger said: “Yes, of course. That is what we said many times.”

“I rule it out. I don’t think every day about it. As long as they [Sanchez and Ozil] are here, they have to give their all for the club.

“In my head, they are here until the end of the season. That was the decision at the start of the season. Unless something incredible happens, I don’t think that will change.

“For me, they stay until the end of the season. Will they stay longer? That is impossible to answer today. But they have a contract until the end of the season.”

Regarding whether the pair will sign new contracts and remain at the club for 2018/19, Wenger said: “I am not the only one who can decide that. They have a part to play in that as well but, if it is my decision, yes.”
