Ozil and Sanchez halt contract talks
It seems all is not well within the Gunners camp. The fact that two of their best players have halted contract talks does not put the North London club in good condition for next season.
Both Ozil and Alexis Sanchez have been marquee signings for the club with the German arriving in 2013 and the Chilean in 2014. However, with around two years left on their contract, it seems both are not inclined to commit to the club for long term.
The clubs wants both the players to sign a contract of around five years with the players receiving around £160 k in wages. However, the star midfielders have demanded assurances from the club about investing heavily and strengthening other departments in the summer.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger failed to sign a single outfield player last summer with the Gunner's only signing being Petr Cech. In the January transfer window, Egyptian midfielder Elneny was brought into the team but it failed to give a push to their title race.
Few days back, Wenger stated that it would be difficult to strengthen this Arsenal side, in spite of the fact that the North London club is struggling to finish fourth yet again in the league.
Such statements from the manager obviously would not bode well with both Ozil and Sanchez, with the former particularly unhappy with the way the team fell out of the title race in the last few games. It seems it is going to be a long summer for both the management and the Arsenal fans.
