Arsenal FC manager Arsene Wenger has ruled out selling Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez in the January transfer window “unless something unbelievable happens’’.
Both players are out of contract in the summer and have been the subject of repeated speculation that they may leave.
WengerOzil is a reported target for Manchester United and FC Barcelona, while Sanchez is the subject of a failed bid from Manchester City last summer.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday’s game with Huddersfield Town, Wenger was asked whether he thought both would still be at the club when the January transfer window closes.
“Yes, of course,’’ he said. “I rule it out. I don’t think every day about that.
“As long as they are here, they give their best for the club. In my head, they stay until the end of the season, unless something unbelievable happens. I don’t see that changing.’’
If neither player signs a contract extension, each could begin negotiating with other clubs in January ahead of a summer move.
