Alexis Sanchez contract talks at Arsenal showing ‘no progress’ – Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger says there has been ‘no progress’ on agreeing a new Arsenal contract with Alexis Sanchez, who should be fit again soon.

Sanchez, 28, has under 12 months to run on his current deal at the Emirates.

“He is a player who goes into the final year of his contract,” said Wenger. “We have not progressed on that front.”

The Frenchman looks resigned to the Chile forward leaving north London for free next summer but added Sanchez was unlikely to be fit enough to return from an abdominal injury to be in the squad at Stoke on Saturday.

Wenger, however, is hoping to welcome his star player back to action in the following Premier League match against Liverpool at Anfield on August 27.
