Arsenal’s torrid season seems to see no end as contract negotiations with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil have been put on hold, revealed beleaguered Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on Wednesday. Both have over a year left on their current deals and with the current negotiations put on hold, signs are looking ominous for the side. Wenger himself is yet to clarify on his future with the club after a run of poor results.
“At the moment we have not got an agreement,” said Wenger when asked about the future of Sanchez. “We have decided to focus on the end of the season and talk about it during the summer. It is the same situation with Ozil, because once you don’t find an agreement and the negotiation lasts, it is not good. It is better you get it out and sit down in the summer.”
Arsenal are sixth in the Premier League following four defeats in their past five games. Talking about his own future, Wenger said, “No matter how long I stay, I will be committed and completely focused as long as I stay at the club.” The Gunners return to Premier League action on Sunday when they host Manchester City.
