Arsene Wenger spoke to the media ahead of Arsenal's short trip to face
Watford on Saturday in the Premier League.
The Frenchman was asked about the contract situation of two of the
club's most important players that runs out next summer.
There have been reports in the press linking both Alexis Sanchez and
Mesut Ozil with a move away in January.
However, the German's agent claimed on Wednesday that contract talks
with Arsenal were going well, a claim Arsene Wenger confirmed. But
before adding that no possible outcome is ruled in terms of a
departure in January.
"The player looks happy. At the present time there is no deal close
for me to announce." Wenger said
"Talks are going well.
"That is my understanding (that Ozil wants to stay). The fact that we
didn't find agreement last year doesn't mean he wants to leave.
Until something concrete is announced, the speculaton would continue.
It remains to be seen whether an agreement can be found in the coming
weeks and months.
