Arsenal have been in protracted contract talks with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil for months with no progress made on new deals.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has also been linked with a summer exit and is reportedly nearing a £35million move to Premier League champions Chelsea.

All three players are out of contract next summer and could deliver a huge blow to the club if they were all to leave on free transfers.

However, Arsene Wenger has insisted the Gunners are not concerned and are still holding out hope they will pen new deals.

When asked if Diego Costa's situation at Chelsea was similar to the problems faced by Arsenal regarding Sanchez, Wenger told beIN SPORTS: “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.

"It’s difficult for me to analyse the Chelsea situation with Costa.”

Wenger did, however, ensure Arsenal supporters Sanchez would not be leaving this summer under any circumstances.

When asked if he stands by the fact the Chile international will not be sold, he replied: “Yeah, of course."

"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."
