Arsene Wenger says that the club will be sitting down soon to finalise contract extensions for Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.

The duo are in the final two years of their current deals, and as two of the club’s major stars, keeping them in North London is imperative. Initial discussions with both parties were held in the second half of last season but no agreements were made at that point.

Speaking this evening ahead of tomorrow night’s Champions League clash with PSG, the manager said, “Ozil and Sanchez, we will start to talk for their extensions.”

Perhaps with the club having spent close to £100m this summer, there’s enough of a show of ambition to convince the two to commit their futures. That and some very round numbers when it comes to their salaries.

They’re not the only ones in this situation though, as Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Aaron Ramsey all have less than 2 years left on their deals.
