Arsenal boss Wenger insists Alexis, Ozil and Chamberlain will stay
Posted Wednesday, August 16, 2017 by
Arsene Wenger has reiterated Arsenal's stance that Alexis Sanchez will remain at the club.
The Frenchman also said the club were hopeful of re-signing Mesut Oil and Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain.
When asked by beIN Sports for an update of Sanchez's situation, Wenger replied: "Of course (I stand by the fact Sanchez won't leave).
"It's difficult to say (players are getting) 'power back'. I just think it looks unusual to the media sometimes that clubs want contracts to be respected. For me, it looks logical so I am amazed that you are amazed because it looks normal.
"If I sign a contract, I respect it. Of course if a club releases me it's normal that I can go somewhere else. I know when I signed for two years at Arsenal, it's a contract and I have to respect it.
"I have enough problems not to make an assessment on Chelsea's problems. This is a little bit of a special situation when you look from outside, it's a little bit of a different situation.
"We always wanted to keep Sanchez and we always hope, even now, that we can extend the contracts of Sanchez, Chamberlain, Ozil."
